A broken cable can leave you locked out of your own engine bay, and the Dorman hood release cable 912-210 is built to replace it. This hood release cable with handle is a direct-fit replacement for the 1997-2001 Honda CR-V, taking the place of a worn-out or broken original cable.
A hood release cable links the interior pull handle to the hood latch. Pulling the handle draws the cable, which trips the latch so the hood can be raised. If the original cable has frayed, stretched or snapped, this Dorman hood cable replaces it, handle included.
- Direct replacement: made to match the original cable on the listed applications.
- Durable construction: produced within strict tolerances with long service in mind.
- Cost-effective solution: comparable quality for less than a replacement bought at the dealership.
- Trustworthy value: backed by Dorman's team of engineers and quality control experts in the United States.
Signs this part may need replacing include a release handle that pulls loosely with no resistance, a handle that feels stiff or binds, or a hood that no longer pops when the handle is pulled. A seized or misadjusted latch can cause similar symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the cable.
