Yahoo Finance Nissan (NSANY) Recalls 300K+ SUVs in US Over Hood Glitch
Nissan Motor Co. NSANY has announced that it is recalling more than 300,000 SUVs in the United States. The recall is over an issue pertaining to the hood, which suddenly opens obstructing the driver’s view and increasing the risk of a crash.
The Japan-based automaker said that 322,671 Pathfinder vehicles for models between 2013 and 2016 are covered under the recall.
Per the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and Nissan, the accumulation of dirt and dust on the secondary hood latch could cause the malfunction. The latch stays open, even if the hood is closed, potentially popping up without alert.
Nissan will shortly send out interim notifications for the remedial measure.
The automaker recently came up with its production, sales and exports figures for May 2022. Nissan’s global production in May increased 1.7% from a year earlier to 231,732 units. While domestic production increased 77.9% year over year to 26,799 units, overseas production declined 3.7% to 204,933 units. Global production for the first five months totaled 1,304,459, down 17% year over year.
Global sales witnessed a decline of 33.8% in May. Sales in Japan declined 9.5% from a year ago. The auto giant’s sales outside Japan fell 36%.
The exports from Japan also declined 55.2% year over year.
Shares of Nissan have lost 20.2% over the past year compared to its industry’s 31.2% decline.
