Detailed Description

When the hood release cable on a Buick Enclave or Chevrolet Traverse breaks, stretches, or binds, the hood can become difficult or impossible to open. Dorman 912-745 is built to replace the original cable on the listed 2018-2021 applications, using a steel inner cable and plastic outer sheath for a serviceable OE-style repair.

What It Helps Fix

• Broken hood release cable

• Excessive cable stretch that prevents full latch movement
• Loss of hood opening function on the secondary cable circuit
• Damaged cable housing or frayed cable strands

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify vehicle fitment before installation by matching the year, make, model, and secondary cable application. Inspect the hood latch and release handle path for damage or corrosion before installing the new cable. Confirm both ball-end connections seat correctly and that the cable routes cleanly without sharp bends or pinch points. For 2018-2021 Buick Enclave and 2018-2021 Chevrolet Traverse repairs, compare the removed cable to Dorman 912-745 before final assembly.
