The problem

If the hood scoop detaches, it may become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
SET will notify owners, and dealers will mechanically fasten the scoop to the hood, free of charge. The recall began on September 1, 2017. Owners may contact SET customer service at 1-954-429-2000. SET's number for this recall is SET17B.
