Chevrolet Spark and Spark EV Recall for Hood Latch Corrosion

Plain-English summary

General Motors, LLC is recalling certain 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark and 2014-2015 Chevrolet Spark EV vehicles. The recall addresses a defect where the secondary hood latch may corrode at the latch pivot, which can prevent the hood latch from properly engaging.

A hood latch failure can result in the vehicle's hood opening unexpectedly, increasing the risk of a crash. This recall supersedes and expands NHTSA recall number 14V-593. Vehicles previously repaired under the earlier recall will need to have the new remedy performed.

Dealers will replace the hood striker assembly and hood latch assembly free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on June 12, 2023. Owners may contact Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
