RE: 94 Hood Latch Recall: Any luck getting damage paid for?
My latch is messed up to, not to long ago, it came unlatched while i was driving and flew straight into the air, took a couple decent chips out of the paint on the hood and bent up the hinges, ill replace it myself. If dodge isnt gonna fix the messed up cracked dashes, im sure they wont fix the hood latch.

I'm wondering if anyone has had luck trying to get Dodge to pay for damage to the hood/hinges as a result of the Recall on the Hood Latch on the 94 and never trucks?

Perhaps I had a good argument. I bought the truck in '04 and when they did thecat recall in '06 they sent me the notice.While the hood latch recall was old, it had not been done and that was in their database yet they did not notify me even though they knew I bought the truck after owners were notified about the latch problem. Also, the circumstances when it flew up were dangerous - as they likely all are.
I complained to the dealer about the latch failure and the danger, let them know I learned about the recall after the accident, showed them the cat recall and complained about non-notification about the safety issue hood recall. It worked.
If anybody hasn't had the latch recall done -good idea to take care of that. Being suddenly blinded on a curvy road is not fun - I was lucky I didn't crash.

Dodge didpay for a new hood, grill, springs, & hinges after my '96 RAM 1500 hood flew up last fall.
