NovemberSpark 1 Posted September 22, 2015 Share Posted September 22, 2015 Hey guys, went to open the hatch of my 14 spark ls and the latch broke. Went to the dealership and was told that there is a TSB out for that stating that a new cable and latch mechanism is required to fix the inadequate original design. Link to post Share on other sites
JJS 0 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks! I've been frustrated since mine broke. Did they fix it? Was it covered? Link to post Share on other sites
NovemberSpark 1 Posted February 13, 2016 Author Share Posted February 13, 2016 Yeah, fixed for free at the dealer. Link to post Share on other sites
Ray Dockrey 97 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 Be aware that they will only fix it if it is still under the bumper to bumper warranty. A TSB is just a service bulletin and not like a recall. Link to post Share on other sites
Retired old Gearhead 201 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Actually the 'latch' thing is a safety issue since a defective latch could cause the hood to fly open at speed...My recall says a safety issue under the NHTSA..the TSB is also used..anyways..it is a safety recall covered during and after warranty has expired...Really a simple thing as it relates to a rusty latch pivot..I just greased it before rust set in..so I'm dine.

Ray Dockrey 97 Posted February 16, 2016 Share Posted February 16, 2016 The original post said the latch for the hatch broke. I took that to mean the back which there is no recall on. Link to post Share on other sites
NovemberSpark 1 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Share Posted February 17, 2016 Right, was the rear hatch. Sorry for any confusion. Link to post Share on other sites
