What this recall means for you
Loose fasteners on the left-side front bumper reinforcement clip can stop the pop-up engine hood from activating. The hood is designed to raise its rear edge in a frontal collision with a pedestrian, so if it fails to do so, the risk of injury to the pedestrian increases.
Dealers will tighten the fasteners at no cost to you. If you own a 2023 or 2024 Nissan Z, check whether your vehicle is affected by entering your VIN on the NHTSA recall lookup site or contacting Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669, referencing recall R23C8. Schedule a visit to an authorized Nissan dealer to have the repair done.
