The defect
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2023-2024 Nissan Z vehicles. The fasteners in the left-side front bumper reinforcement clip may loosen, which can prevent the pop-up engine hood from activating.
The risk
A pop-up engine hood that does not activate and raise the rear end of the hood in a frontal pedestrian crash, can increase the risk of injury.
The remedy
Dealers will tighten the fasteners, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed December 7, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R23C8.

What this page is, and what to do next
A recall is not an opinion. It is a Part 573 report a manufacturer is required by federal law to file once it decides a defect poses an unreasonable risk to safety, and it commits them to repairing the vehicle at no cost to the owner. The three passages above are the manufacturer’s own wording as published by NHTSA.
This page describes the campaign. It cannot tell you whether one particular car has already been through the shop — that is tracked by VIN, and only the manufacturer knows it. Check yours at nhtsa.gov/recalls or with a franchised dealer, quoting campaign number 23V725000.
