More than 300,000 Nissan SUVs are said to be defective and could flip up preventing the driver from seeing through the windscreen. The models affected are from the year 2013-2016, this is according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.
The flipping of the hoods could be caused by build up dust and dirt, which leads the hoods to spring open during the driving act. “If this condition occurs, the hood may open without warning and obstruct the driver’s forward view, increasing the risk of crash,” the report said.
“We are committed to the safety and security of our customers and their passengers,” Nissan said in a statement.
“A remedy plan is currently under development and a parts collection activity will be conducted for a limited group of customers to further study the issue,” it said.
