According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s website,  General Motors is recalling certain model year 2010-2012 Chevrolet Colorado and GMC Canyon vehicles manufactured from November 9, 2009, through August 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. The website said, 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.

NHTSA said 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 following vehicles are included in this recall:

• 2010-2012 Chevrolet Colorado
• 2010-2012 GMC Canyon
