The driver, who had about 25,000 miles on the car, did not crash and was not injured. A Nissan dealer replaced the hood.<\/p>\n<p>Sounds like an easy fix: Dealers will be instructed to modify the bend angle on the hood actuation lever to eliminate potential interference with the hood inner panel. In addition, dealers will clean and lubricate the latch joint as needed.<\/p>\n<p>If there&#8217;s significant corrosion in the latch area, dealers will replace the mechanism. Repairs will be free. The automaker has not yet said when it expects to notify owners.<\/p>\n<p>from USAToday.com<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It&#8217;s every driver&#8217;s nightmare: An improperly latched hood flies open on the highway, blocking the driver&#8217;s vision and causing a [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[116,223,258],"tags":[253,257,480,481],"class_list":["post-16680","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-legal-blog","category-recall","category-consumer-alert","tag-consumer-alert","tag-recall-2","tag-hood","tag-nissan-altima"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v17.8 (Yoast SEO v27.8) -
