What happened

Nissan is recalling certain 2013-2014 Nissan Pathfinder vehicles, 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid vehicles, 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles, 2014 Infiniti QX60 vehicles, and 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid vehicles manufactured between June 2012 and November 2013. The hood release cable assembly may have been installed incorrectly, preventing the secondary latch from fully engaging and remaining in the open position when the hood is closed.

If the primary hood latch is released and the secondary latch fails while driving, the hood could open and block the driver's vision, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash. Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will modify the angle of the hood release mechanism to provide additional length to the release cable at no charge. Affected consumers should contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
