Replace a sticking or failed 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4 hood latch with the Standard Ignition Hood Latch DLA2071. It is designed to hold the hood securely closed and to let it open when the hood release is operated. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4. See the "Vehicles it fits" section for engine details.
This 2006-2012 Toyota RAV4 hood latch engages the hood striker when the hood is shut. It works with the release cable to free the hood when you need to check fluids or service the engine compartment. Standard Ignition builds it around a corrosion-resistant housing, and the part has undergone testing for fit and service.
Signs the latch may need replacing: The hood won't release when the lever is pulled, or it won't stay latched when closed. The hood may also rattle or not sit flush, or the latch may be visibly broken or seized. A stretched or damaged release cable can cause similar symptoms, so inspect the cable before replacing the latch.
