LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
What Happened
The hood latch in your vehicle is a safety mechanism that ensures the hood stays closed while driving. However, in some 2021-2024 Model 3, Model S, Model X, and 2020-2024 Model Y vehicles, it might not detect when the hood is open.
Risk if Unfixed
If the latch fails, your hood could swing open while you're driving, blocking your view and increasing the risk of a crash. This could happen without warning, even if you're driving at normal speeds.
Free Fix
Tesla will send an automatic software update to your vehicle to fix the issue, at no cost to you. You don't need to take your car in for a repair – the update will happen remotely, and you should receive a notice when it's complete.
