Detailed Description

Dorman 912-050 is a hood release cable replacement for select Volvo C70, Volvo S70, and Volvo V70 models. The steel inner cable provides the strength needed for repeated hood release operation, while the plastic outer material helps protect the cable during routing through the vehicle body. This part number 912-050 is intended for vehicles where the original hood release cable has stretched, frayed, or failed.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Broken hood release cable that prevents the hood from opening
• Frayed or stretched cable causing poor latch release
• Stiff or inconsistent hood release lever action
• Loss of normal hood access on Volvo C70, S70, or V70 models

Installation Notes and Tips

Route the replacement cable along the original path and verify smooth movement before closing the hood. Inspect the hood latch and release lever for wear or binding during installation. Confirm vehicle application by year and model before ordering, since this cable is specific to select Volvo fitments.
