The NHTSA reports a Geocom component may possibly have been incorrectly manufactured; in return this could cause the hoods latch not working properly. This could potentially make the hood pop up whilst the vehicle is in motion.

Both Nissan and Infiniti dealers are aware of the issue but have not yet contacted NHTSA when the recall date will commence. When they do officially announce the recall owners should take their vehicles to their dealer, where they will fix the issue by modifying the hood release mechanism’s angle, this will of course be done free of charge - Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
