The other day mine completely came off and couldnt put it back on again when trying to open the bonnet. It was fixed by the dealer but yesterday tried to open the bonnet again and the cable and the whole lever broke. Its going back to the dealer on Monday. I reckon it is so flimsy and not a good design. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/508-problem-with-bonnet-lever/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes it will be covered under warranty.. not your fault it broke doing a normal thing.. like opening the bonnet.
