2013-2018 Nissan Altima Hood Latch Recall

Nissan Motor Co. has recalled more than 1.8 million 2013-2018 Nissan Altima’s because the secondary hood latch may get stuck in the open position. A majority of the recalled vehicles in North America are in the U.S. and Canada.

Corrosion on the secondary latch may not hold the hood closed while the vehicle is in motion, according to a statement from Nissan.

"Nissan has received 16 claim reports involving a minor crash and/or minor injury for vehicles that did not receive the repair," a Nissan spokeswoman told Automotive News in an email.
