You can Select Your Vehicle to check if 74130-S0X-A01 fits your vehicle.

To replace the latch you should first remove the covering that may be on top of the grille if present, then marking the line around the latch bolts to enable alignment, then removing the bolts holding the hood latch to the radiator support and then removing the latch. Thirdly, there is the requirement to disconnect the hood release cable from the latch assembly as it involves detaching the housing of the cable and pulling out the end of the cable from the latch. Reinstallation is done in a reverse order to removal; however, the latch has to be correctly aligned, such that, when closed with the bumpers being slightly compressed the hood engages. Start on the cable, by pulling out the driver's side kick panel followed by pulling out the hood release handle which has mounting bolts. Press the 'hood release handle lever upward position', turn the end of the cable to the right and remove the cable from the handle. Place one end of a piece of wire or string inside the vehicle by the left front terminal of the cable and then loosen the left front wheel lug nuts, raise the assembly and support it by jackstands before removing the left inner fender splash shield. On the engine compartment, remove all the hood release cable from the latch and release all the cable retention clips of the radiator support and inner fenderwell. Slide the cable out and to the front if possible then either undo the wire or string tied around the old cable and secure it around the new cable instead. When the new cable is in place pull the wire or string back through the firewall until the new cable runs to the inside handle and install the cable grommet where it passes through the body of the vehicle. Last but not the least fix the new cable to the hood release handle, make sure that the cable housing fits properly into the notch of the handle bracket, then finally tighten the lug nuts of the wheel to the required torque.
