"14545 - SERVICE UPDATE. THIS BULLETIN PROVIDES A SERVICE PROCEDURE TO INSPECT THE HOOD LATCH STRIKER WELD, AND IF NECESSARY,
REPLACE THE HOOD ON CERTAIN VEHICLES. THE HOOD LATCH STRIKER REINFORCEMENT ASSEMBLY PRODUCED FROM A SPECIFIC WELD FIXTURE MIGHT NOT CONFORM TO COMPONENT TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS REQUIREMENTS. THE WELDING BETWEEN THE STRIKER WIRE AND THE
REINFORCEMENT PLATE MAY HAVE REDUCED STRENGTH. THIS CONDITION COULD PREVENT THE HOOD FROM LATCHING. IF THE HOOD DOES NOT LATCH, THE VEHICLE SECURITY INDICATOR LIGHT WILL FLASH RAPIDLY, THE REMOTE START WILL NOT FUNCTION, AND THE HOOD OPEN MESSAGE WILL APPEAR IN THE DRIVER INFORMATION CENTER (DIC).
