French carmaker Renault has denied there is a fault with its hood latch on the Renault Clio, despite multiple incidents where the bonnet opened while the Clio was being driven. Renault will not recall the Clio.
However, it is offering to check the models and remedy the apparently non-existant problem for free. A taskforce was set up by representatives from the company across the world to determine whether or not there really was a latch problem.
Renault blamed poor maintenance for the incidents where the hood flew open in transit.
