Detailed Product Overview

Dorman 912-628 is a hood release cable engineered to replace the original cable on select 1994-2007 Subaru Impreza and 1998-2002 Subaru Forester models. The steel inner cable and plastic outer material are specified for the demands of under-hood and body routing, while the included latch helps restore normal hood-opening operation after cable failure or excessive wear. If your Subaru Impreza or Subaru Forester hood release handle no longer pulls the hood open, this replacement cable addresses the source of the problem at the cable assembly level.

This part cross-references Subaru 57330FA100ML for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Broken hood release cable that prevents the hood from opening
• Stretched cable that no longer engages the latch properly
• Frayed or binding cable movement at the release handle
• Latch release issues caused by cable wear or separation
• Intermittent hood opening on older Subaru Impreza and Forester models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment by year and model before installation. Route the cable along the original path to avoid sharp bends, pinch points, or interference with moving components. Inspect the hood latch mechanism and release handle area during service so the new cable can operate smoothly after installation. This part number is 912-628.
