Nissan Australia has recalled its 2022-2023 Z sports car to fix a problem with the front bumper.

    “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 brand says in its recall notice.

    “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.”

    • A total of 135 vehicles are included in the recall notice
    • A VIN list of affected vehicles is attached here

    Nissan Australia will contact owners of the affected vehicles and advise them to organise a free fix with their nearest dealer.
