Nissan Recalls 930,000 Cars Worldwide For Faulty Hood Latches

As reported by the techtimes, Japanese carmaker Nissan Motor Co. is recalling several thousands of its mid-size Altima cars as users are encountering issues with its hood latches.

This is the third time Nissan has issued a recall for the Altima to fix the faulty latch issue, which can cause the hood of the car to fly open when the vehicle is in motion.

On Friday, the carmaker announced that it is going to recall 930,000 of its vehicles worldwide that were suffering from the faulty latch problem. The vehicles affected by the issue are the company's Altima sedan models from 2013 to 2015.

Of the 930,000 cars that Nissan will be recalling, 846,000 vehicles are in the U.S., 24,895 in Canada and 56,844 in other parts of the world, says Nissan spokesperson Steve Yaeger.
