Hood Latches Causes GM to Recall 119,000 Midsize Trucks
If you are driving 2010 to 2012 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon midsize trucks. Check with your local GM dealer due to a recall from General Motors for 119,000 pickup trucks because the hoods can fly open unexpectedly and block the driver's vision.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says that some of the trucks may not have a secondary hood latch. If the main latch isn't fastened, the hood could open.
GM found the problem after getting two complaints.
Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon owners will have the option of checking the hoods for the secondary latch or taking it to a local Chevrolet or GMC dealer. If there's no secondary latch, GM will replace the hoods free of charge.
The recall is expected to begin next month.
