Nissan Z 2023 Recall: Pedestrian Crash Hood Failure Risk
Nissan recalls 2023-2024 Z vehicles with potential hood failure during pedestrian crashes. Owners must have front bumper harness inspected by dealers for free replacement.
Nissan is recalling certain 2023-2024 Z vehicles because the front bumper harness might reverse pedestrian detection sensors, preventing the engine hood from popping up during a pedestrian collision. This could increase injury risk if the hood doesn't deploy as intended. Read more at govinfonow.com/recall/81493-nissan-z-2023-recall-pedestrian-crash-hood-failure-risk.
