I just read this article:http://www.washingtonpost.com/cars/...2a6a0e-4e3b-11e4-877c-335b53ffe736_story.html by the washington post.
To my knowledge this is the first recall. It doesn't seem to be a huge issue especially because the weather is so great in Cali that rust isn't as much of an issue, but definitely don't want the hood unexpectedly popping up. I guess I'll be waiting for the notification...
RECALL #2: 2013-2015 Chevrolet Spark & Chevrolet Spark EV
UNITS AFFECTED: 93,834 (89,294 in the U.S.)
Detroit News reports that this recall stems from a potential build-up of rust on the Spark's hood latch. That could prevent the latch from working as intended and allow the hood to open unexpectedly. GM knows of three such incidents that have happened in the U.K., though no accidents or injuries have been reported.
GM hasn't issued a timeline for this recall either. It appears that the company is waiting for the delivery of properly rust-proof parts, which will be used to replace the faulty latches on recalled vehicles. Until that time, GM won't allow any of the 2015 models included in the recall to be delivered to buyers.
