LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH
- The defect
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Pathfinder vehicles. On certain Pathfinder vehicles, the secondary hood latch may malfunction and remain in the unlatched, unsecured, position when the hood is closed.
- What it can cause
- An unsecured hood could unexpectedly open while driving, obstructing the driver's view, and increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the bell crank assembly, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed March 26, 2025. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall are R22A2 R22A3 and R24B7.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 322,671 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 97% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2013 to 2016, so the oldest vehicles on it were 9 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nissan vehicles have been recalled over the latches/locks/linkages 9 times before this, most recently in September 2021 as 21V706000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 4 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,889 complaints with NHTSA, 1,559 of them before this campaign was filed. 24 of those name the latches/locks/linkages, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in December 2012, 9 years before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry one other recall published here: 21V020000 (exterior lighting).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
