The 1984 Nissan 300ZX has 2 recalls, the most serious being a brake master cylinder defect where a retaining clip can disengage and allow internal valve components to be pushed out, causing brake fluid loss and partial or complete brake failure.
The second recall involves the hood: a deformed inner hood panel can misalign the secondary latch, leaving it without enough engagement to hold the hood closed if the primary latch is not fully set. At highway speeds, this can allow the hood to fly open and block the driver's view of the road.
