What Happened
The hood scoop on your vehicle is an accessory that directs air into your engine. It's held in place by a weak adhesive, which can break down over time, causing the scoop to come loose.
Risk if Unfixed
If the hood scoop detaches while you're driving, it could become a hazard on the road, potentially causing a crash or damaging your vehicle.
Free Fix
Your dealer will secure the hood scoop to your vehicle's hood with mechanical fasteners, and this repair is completely free. You'll be notified when it's time to schedule the fix, so be sure to keep an eye out for the recall notice.
