Salty areas may get the ol' Hood Poppin' up from a
corroded latch in salty areas, like Utah, Coastal,
etc.
How can you gauge wear?

The recall isnt for the dakotas...right now its only on the rams...but you should still watch it, if you see it rust or corrode you should take it to a dealer and have them look at it

my hood latch was also faulty, I found out the hard way when i was driving down the freeway and my hood popped up at 65 mph. Not fun. After i took it in, the hood latch was correded and needed to be replaced.

I saw the recall for the Ram also and took a few moments to check my '97 Dak's latch. Had a lot of salt and rust build up on it and it did not work well at all. used a can of WD.40 and gave it a few squirt then worked the latch vigorously for a moment or two and all my problems went away. I live in the midwest near Lake Erie.
