What’s wrong
If the bonnet is not shut correctly on the main bonnet catch and the bonnet then opens to the secondary catch the secondary bonnet catch is not strong enough to hold the bonnet in a closed position.

There is also a warning light to inform the driver that the bonnet is not closed correctly which is not functioning as intended.
The fix
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the secondary bonnet catch for a new stronger item. A new program will be downloaded into the cluster to make the bonnet open warning light work correctly.
