CarRecallWatch- Component
- LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
- Problem
- McLaren Automotive Incorporated (McLaren) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 P1 hybrid vehicles manufactured March 1, 2013, to October 31, 2015. The affected vehicles have a secondary hood latch that may not properly re-engage. As a result, if the primary latch is released inadvertently, the hood may open while the vehicle is moving. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 113, "Hood Latch System."
- Risk
- If the hood opens while driving it may increase the risk of a crash.
- Remedy
- McLaren will notify owners, and dealers will replace the hood latch with a newly-designed latch, free of charge. The recall began on January 18, 2016. Owners may contact McLaren customer service at 1-646-429-8916.
- Notes
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
What this recall means for you
The secondary hood latch on certain 2014-2015 McLaren P1 vehicles may not properly re-engage. If the primary latch is released by accident, the hood can open while the vehicle is moving. The vehicles therefore do not meet Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 113 for hood latch systems.
An open hood can block the driver's view and increase the risk of a crash. Owners of affected vehicles built between March 1, 2013 and October 31, 2015 should expect a notice from McLaren Automotive, and the recall began on January 18, 2016.
Dealers will replace the hood latch with a newly designed latch at no cost to you. You can contact McLaren customer service at 1-646-429-8916 with questions, and check your vehicle's VIN for any open recalls.
