2022-2023 Nissan Z recalled with safety fault

A safety fault has triggered a recall of the 2022-2023 Nissan Z in Australia. 

The 135 affected vehicles are stamped Model Years 2022 and 2023.

“Due to a manufacturing issue, the mounting screws on the left-hand side front bumper reinforcement bracket may not have been tightened sufficiently. As a result, the pedestrian detection sensor may not function as intended,” the recall notice says.

“In the event of an accident, if the pedestrian detection pop-up hood feature does not operate as intended, it could increase the risk of injury or death to the pedestrian.

“Customers should contact their local Nissan Dealership and schedule an appointment to have the mounting screws on the front bumper reinforcement bracket tightened to the appropriate specification, free of charge.”

Drive has contacted Nissan Australia to find out if any vehicles have been impacted locally. This story will be updated with its response.
