The short version

Nissan North America, Inc. reported a problem with the hood latch. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

In the affected vehicles, the secondary hood latch may bind and remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

WHAT TO DO

To correct this issue, Nissan will re-notify all affected owners and dealers will replace the hood latch with a new one, free of charge.
