If a stretched or snapped cable has left your hood refusing to pop, the Dorman hood release cable 912-431 is built to directly replace the worn-out or broken original. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2008-2012 Honda Accord and is made to match the original cable on that vehicle.
The hood release cable links the interior release lever to the hood latch. Pulling the lever draws the cable, which releases the latch so the hood can be raised. When the original frays, stretches or breaks, the lever may go slack and the hood may stay shut. This Dorman hood cable is sold as a hood release cable assembly.
- Direct replacement: made to match the original cable on the listed 2008-2012 Honda Accord applications.
- Durable construction: built within strict tolerances with reliable longevity in mind.
- Cost-effective solution: comparable quality at a lower cost than buying a replacement from the dealership.
- Trustworthy value: backed by a team of engineers and quality-control experts in the United States.
Signs this part may need replacing include a release lever that feels loose or limp, a lever that has to be pulled harder or farther than usual, or a hood that will not release when the lever is pulled. A sticking latch can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the latch as well before replacing the cable.
