Customer Satisfaction Notification H38
Primary Hood Latches
Models
2009 (JK) Jeep® Wrangler
NOTE: This notification applies only to the above vehicles built from August 13, 2008 through October 02, 2008 (MDH 081317 through 100219).
IMPORTANT: Some of the involved vehicles may be in dealer vehicle inventory. Dealers should complete this repair on these vehicles before retail delivery. Dealers should also perform this repair on vehicles in for service. Involved vehicles can be determined by using the VIP inquiry process.
Subject
The two primary hood latches on about 7,300 of the above vehicles may have been incorrectly manufactured and could fail. A primary hood latch failure on one side of the hood can cause the hood to flutter on the affected side. If both primary latches fail, the hood can lift to the secondary hood latch position while driving.
Repair
Both primary hood latches must be replaced.
Each dealer, to whom vehicles in the notification were assigned, will receive enough hood latch packages to service about 20% of those vehicles.
Part Number Description CBB0H380 Hood Latch Package
Each package contains two hood latches.

Screw the dealer. They'll just put back on OEM latches which will stretch and cause flutter again eventually.
I put on the Daystar ones, 10 min install, and the hood doesn't budge a millimeter at full freeway speed.
