Nissan Altima: Structure
Affects Nissan Altima · 2013–2015 — about 15K vehicles.
The hazard
On certain vehicles, if the vehicle is driven with only the secondary latch engaged, the secondary hood latch may fail to hold the hood closed. As a result, the hood could open suddenly and compromise the driver’s ability to see the road and its users, as well as cause damage to the windshield. These issues could result in a crash causing injury and/or property damage. Correction: Dealers will affect repairs. Note: This is an expansion of recall 2014401.
