What Happened
The secondary hood latch on your Entourage is a critical safety feature that keeps your hood closed while driving. It can corrode over time and fail to latch properly.
Risk if Unfixed
If you accidentally release the primary latch and the secondary latch doesn't engage, your hood could swing open while you're driving, increasing the risk of a crash.
Free Fix
Your Hyundai dealer will check and replace or lubricate the secondary latch, free of charge, to ensure your safety on the road.
