| Description of the problem | I have received no response from nissan yet re: the remedy for this recall. May 28,2020 manufacturer recall numberr20a7 nhtsa recall numbertbd recall statusrecall incomplete, remedy not yet available summary the secondary hood latch may become stuck in the open position due to a potential for corrosion (in regions with excessive road salt use) in the hood latch combined with improper inspection and maintenance. Safety risk if the driver inadvertently releases the primary hood latch (ex. While refueling) or the hood is not closed properly, the secondary hood latch may not hold the hood closed while the vehicle is in motion. The hood may open without warning and obstruct the driver s forward view, and may increase the risk of crash. Remedy a remedy plan is currently under development. Nissan will provide all affected owners with an interim notification that reminds owners how to properly maintain the latch and also reminds those owners to fully close and engage the primary hood latch each time before driving their altima. *js |
