Critical riskHealth Canada

An official Health Canada notice concerns Hummer - General motors. On certain vehicles, the integral clip-tabs on the hood louver may fracture, which could allow the hood louver to lose its retention mechanism. As the clip-tabs break, the hood louver may rattle against the hood and become loose. If this indicator is unnoticed, additional clips could fracture and the hood louver could detach from the vehicle and strike a vehicle or a bystander, which could result in property damage, personal injury or death. Correction: Dealers will apply an adhesive to the hood louver to secure it to the hood. Published 2011-02-15.
