Buying a used 2024 Nissan Z? Check these 2 recalls first
The record carries the same two medium-severity recalls as the prior year, both covering the pedestrian pop-up hood that may fail to rise or activate properly. Neither recall carried a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. NHTSA lists just 2 owner complaints — unverified reports — with no crashes, fires or injuries, filed under air bags, seat belts, structure and an uncategorized entry. That is a very small sample, so it says little either way about how this year holds up.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Ask for dealer records showing both hood recall repairs were done on this VIN
- Check the hood fits evenly and look for signs of prior front-end repair
- Confirm the airbag and restraint warning light goes out after startup
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
