LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
- The defect
- McLaren Automotive Incorporated (McLaren) is recalling certain 2020-2023 McLaren GT vehicles. The manual release cable of the hood latch may have excessive tension that can cause the latch to open, resulting in the hood opening unexpectedly.
- What it can cause
- A hood that opens unexpectedly while driving can obstruct the driver's view, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- McLaren will replace the hood latch, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 11, 2024. Owners may contact McLaren customer service at 855-202-8815.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .

How this campaign compares
At 1,012 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 59% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2020 to 2023, so the oldest vehicles on it were 4 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
McLaren vehicles have been recalled over the latches/locks/linkages once before this, most recently in December 2015 as 15V836000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 4 other recalls published here: 25V216000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 22V103000 (air bags), 21V561000 (service brakes, hydraulic), 20V231000 (fuel system, gasoline).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by McLaren Automotive Incorporated with NHTSA on September 10, 2024 as campaign 24V661000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
