May 28, 2020Latches/locks/linkages, HoodNissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013 to 2018 Nissan Altima vehicles. If the primary hood latch is inadvertently released, there is an increased likelihood that the secondary hood latch may corrode over time.
Risk: Corrosion to the secondary latch may cause it to bind and remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed. If the primary latch is inadvertently released again and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a stronger release spring in the hood release lever, a warning label near the secondary hood latch, and an Owners Manual addendum card with instructions on how to lubricate and maintain the secondary hood latch mechanism, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 30, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1 800 867 7669. Note: Recall 16V029 remains open for any unremedied 2013 to 2015 Altimas and this recall applies to all vehicles covered by 16V029 even if those repairs have already been performed.
