Detailed Description

Dorman 912-118 is a hood release cable designed for specific Hyundai fitments where the original cable has stretched, frayed, or broken. It follows the OE-style application for 2012-2016 Hyundai Azera, 2011-2015 Hyundai Sonata, and 2011 Hyundai Azera built from 12/14/11. This part number, 912-118, is a practical replacement when the hood release no longer operates smoothly or the cable has separated from the latch mechanism.

This part cross-references Hyundai (e.g., 811903S000) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Broken hood release cable that prevents hood opening
• Frayed or stretched cable causing weak pull response
• Sticking hood release operation
• Loss of latch engagement from cable failure
• Intermittent hood release function on Hyundai Azera and Hyundai Sonata models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment before installation, especially for 2011 Hyundai Azera models with the 12/14/11 build note. Inspect the hood latch and release handle assembly for wear before replacing the cable. Route the new cable along the original path to avoid binding and confirm smooth latch release after installation.

Quality Assurance

Dorman manufactures replacement parts engineered for direct-fit applications, and this hood release cable is built to replace the original cable on the listed Hyundai vehicles.
