2023-2024 Nissan Z pedestrian detection sensor connector reversal recall

Certain 2023-2024 Nissan Z models have reversed pedestrian detection sensor connectors in the front bumper harness, which may prevent the pop-up engine hood from deploying in a crash. Dealers will provide free harness replacement.

What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall addresses a safety system defect (reversed pedestrian detection connectors) affecting a structural component, but no injuries or illnesses have been reported. Since the hazard is real but consequences remain unobserved, this fits the 'High' severity category per the rubric.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America is recalling certain 2023 and 2024 Nissan Z vehicles due to an assembly error in the front bumper harness. The connectors for the right-side pedestrian detection sensors may be reversed during manufacturing, which can prevent the pop-up engine hood from activating as intended.

The pop-up engine hood is a pedestrian safety feature designed to reduce injury in a collision. When the sensors are reversed, the hood may not deploy during a pedestrian crash, increasing the risk of serious injury. This recall affects approximately 4,036 vehicles from the 2023 and 2024 model years.

Nissan has begun notifying owners by mail (letters were sent December 11, 2024). Dealers will replace the front bumper harness at no charge. Owners can contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 to schedule service, or contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) at 1-888-327-4236 or visit nhtsa.gov.
