Nissan recalls 846k Altimas for secondary hood latch problem

The Basics: Nissan will recall 846,000 examples of the 2013-2015 Altima with production dates between March 6, 2012, and December 31, 2014.

The Problem: The secondary hood latch could bind and not fasten when owners close the hood. If the primary latch is somehow released, the hood could open while someone is driving.

Injuries/Deaths: None reported.

The Fix: Dealers will replace the hood latch.

If You Own One: The recall should begin in mid-February.

More Information: Nissan previously recalled the Altima twice for this problem – once in 2014 and again in 2015. This new campaign will supersede both of those. Nissan will contact all of the owners from the earlier recalls for them to get the new hood latch.
