Defect, as DVSA words it

Misalignment of the hood latch may prevent latching of the secondary latch.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Inspect the secondary hood latch on affected vehicles. If the hood is not properly retained by the secondary latch the latch mechanism will be reassembled and repositioned to assure proper alignment.
