Nissan expands hood latch recall

Nissan is expanding a recall connected to some faulty hood latches. This problem could make thousands of drivers a little nervous, since the bad latches could allow the hoods to fly open why the cars are moving.

In government documents, Nissan says if the main hood latch is not fastened, the secondary latch may not hold the hood closed as designed. Nissan previously recalled thousands of cars for the same problem in 2013. That recall involved 238,000 Altimas from 2013, as well as 216,000 Nissan Pathfinders from 2013 and 2014, Infiniti JX35s from 2013 and QX60s from 2014.

The latest recall covers Altima midsize cars from the 2013 through 2015 model years. It brings the total number of vehicles recalled for the problem to nearly 1.1 million.

The company says it's still investigating and could recall more vehicles. Nissan hasn't finalized a fix for the problem and will notify drivers when a solution is ready.
