Nissan recalls 2022 Pathfinder vehicles with potential hood latch detachment causing obstructed driver view and crash risk. Owners must have secondary hood latch bracket inspected and replaced by dealers.
A detached secondary hood latch may allow the hood to open if the primary hood latch is not engaged, obstructing the driver's view and increasing the risk of a crash.
