Complaint
Technicians have reported the interior hood release lever (red) missing from vehicle.
Do not retrofit hood release lever as the part has been blocked for all EVA2 vehicles.

Production change. Hood latch system no longer includes the interior release lever.
•
The opening of the hood on all EVA2 vehicles is exclusively reserved for specialist personnel at a qualified specialist workshop.
Remedy
No remedy required. Replacement release lever should not be ordered. See note in XPPI and Paragon. Dealers will
be debited if a warranty claim for “Missing Part” is submitted.
The hood can be opened by hand using the cable. Grasp the cable with your fingers and pull on this until the hood
springs.
