Description

When a worn or broken cable leaves your hood stuck shut, the Dorman hood release cable, part number 912-221, is built to replace it as a direct-fit part for the 2013-2018 Ford Escape and 2015-2018 Lincoln MKC. Dorman describes this Hood Release Cable / Secondary Hood Latch Cable as a secondary hood latch cable, so it is listed under both names.

A hood release cable carries the pull from the release to the hood latch mechanism so the latch can let go. Over time a cable can stretch, fray or snap. If a failed cable is why your hood won't open, this Dorman hood cable replaces the worn original.

Direct replacement: made to match the original cable on the vehicles it is listed for.
Durable construction: manufactured within strict tolerances for durability and dependable use.
Cost-effective solution: comparable quality at a lower cost than buying a replacement at the dealership.
Trustworthy value: backed by a U.S.-based team of engineers and quality control experts.

Cable routing and attachment points differ between vehicles, so follow the vehicle service information for correct installation. See the "Vehicles it fits" section to confirm fitment for your vehicle.
