2023 NISSAN Z Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2023 Nissan Z has 4 recalls, all centered on the same pedestrian safety system: a pop-up engine hood designed to absorb impact in a pedestrian collision may fail to activate, raising the risk of injury. Two separate issues can prevent the hood from deploying correctly. In some vehicles, the wiring connectors for the right-side pedestrian detection sensors are reversed in the front bumper harness, causing the sensors to misread a collision or not respond at all. In others, the fasteners securing the left-side front bumper reinforcement can loosen, which physically prevents the hood mechanism from triggering as designed. Either condition means the hood stays flat during a pedestrian impact instead of popping up to create cushioning space.
