Owner Letter
Dear Chevrolet Owner:
This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act.
REASON FOR THIS RECALL
General Motors has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain 1991-92 Chevrolet caprice model vehicles. The
secondary hood latch assemblies in these vehicles can corrode causing a very high latch release effort and possibly preventing the hood from latching
properly when it is closed.
If the secondary hood latch is not properly engaged and the primary hood latch was also not engaged, the hood could open unexpectedly. If this were to
occur while the vehicle was in motion, the hood may contact the windshield, reducing the forward vision area of the driver, and a vehicle crash without
prior warning could result.
WHAT WE WILL DO
To prevent this condition from occurring, dealers are to install a new secondary hood latch assembly with improved corrosion resistance. This service
will be performed for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please contact your Chevrolet dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date and so the dealer may order the necessary parts for the repair.
Instructions for making this correction have been sent to your dealer and parts are available. The labor time necessary to perform this service correction
is approximately 20 minutes. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much additional time will be needed to schedule and process your vehicle.
