REPAIR PROCEDURE

NOTE: Before continuing on with this repair procedure please perform a VIN Inquiry to see if the vehicle qualifies for Service Bulletin 21-086, Safety Recall: Hood Vibration at Highway Speeds. If it qualifies for the safety recall, make sure the safety recall is completed first. Once completed, continue with the repair procedure provided below. If it doesn’t qualify, continue with the repair procedure below.

1. Turn the hood edge cushions, in or out as necessary, so they touch slightly against the hood.

NOTE: Some vehicles left the factory with the hood edge cushions in their lowest height profile, which allows the hood to pivot off the center latch and bounce from side to side.

2. Open the hood and remove the hood insulator (8 clips).
3. Inspect the areas shown designated with red boxes for adhesive separation between the hood skin and the support.

Updated Image:

4. If separation is found, apply 3M Ultrapro sealant between the frame and the hood skin.

• Insert the tube tip between the hood skin and frame at the area of concern.
• Apply the amount of sealant needed just to where the sealant comes out to the edge of the frame.
• Ensure that there is a consistent amount of sealant touching both the hood skin and frame.

5. Install the hood insulator and replace any stressed or damaged clips.
