Water leaks and insecure hood (bonnet) latches have led to a 768,000 Nissan Motor recall primarily in the US.
According to Reuters, 552,135 2008-2013 Rogues will be recalled because moisture could seep through the driver side floor and cause an electrical short to wiring that could lead to a fire. Of the total, 468,815 are registered in the US.

The campaign will also see 215,789 2013 and 2014 Pathfinder SUVs plus 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles recalled for problems related to a secondary hood latch. Of those, 170,665 are registered in the US.
A Nissan spokesman told Reuters the problem was noticed primarily in rental vehicles when drivers unintentionally dislodged the secondary hood latch, which is designed to catch the hood from flying up if the primary hood latch is disengaged. In a handful of occasions, damage was done to the vehicles when the hood flew open, but there were no reports of crashes or injuries, the spokesman told the newsletter.
In Canada, 52,312 Rogue crossovers will be recalled as well as 15,972 Pathfinder and JX35 SUVs. The Rogue will be recalled in three additional countries and the SUVs in 30 additional countries, Nissan said.
