More than 300,000 Nissan Pathfinder SUVs are being recalled in the US due to faulty hoods that might flip open and impede drivers.

Approximately 322,671 Pathfinder models from 2013 to 2016 may be subject to the recall, according to documents made available by U.S. safety officials on Tuesday.

The hoods could unintentionally spring open, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration claims in a safety recall notice, due to contamination from accumulated dust and debris.

The hood may suddenly open if this condition exists, obstructing the driver’s forward vision and raising the crash risk, according to the research.

According to the research, only 1% of the impacted Pathfinder models have defects.

The safety and security of its customers and their passengers is a priority for Nissan, according to a statement.

According to the statement, “a remedy plan is presently being developed, and a parts collection effort will be carried out for a select set of consumers to further analyse the issue.”

Owners are anticipated to receive letters beginning July 18, according to federal officials.

A Nissan representative confirmed on Tuesday that 37,115 additional Pathfinder models are also affected in Canada in addition to the 322,671 affected vehicles in the United States.
