General Motors has a small truck recall


General Motors is recalling 118,800 model year 2010-2012 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles manufactured from Nov. 9, 2009, through Aug. 28, 2012, for failing to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 113, "Hood Latch System." The hood may be missing the secondary hood latch.
If the primary hood latch is not engaged, the hood could open unexpectedly. During vehicle operation, this could obstruct the view of the driver and increase the risk of a crash.

General Motors will notify owners and instruct them to inspect their vehicle for the presence of a secondary hood latch. Dealers will replace the hood on any affected vehicles, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on Jan. 17.

GM's number for this campaign is 12319.
