What this page shows
Everything below is an owner-reported complaint submitted to NHTSA about the 2023 Nissan Z, grouped by the component NHTSA recorded on the report. These are not confirmed defects, and they are not recalls. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a category with more reports in it is not evidence that a part is defective.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.

What the reports in each category say, in the owners' own words
Body & structure
Reports naming the vehicle structure, frame, body panels, doors, hood and trim.
From owner reports, verbatim
The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Z. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, upon coming to an abrupt stop, the hood suddenly popped open; obstructing the driver's view, prompting him to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. The message "Collision Detected - Pop-up Activators Deployed" was displayed. No warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to the dealer, who diagnosed a failure with the active-hood pop-up pyro actuators. The vehicle was not repaired. After investigating the failure, the contact related the failure to NHTSA Campaign Number: 24V798000 (Structure, Electrical System); but the VIN was not included. The manufacturer was notified of the failure, and a case was opened. The failure mileage was 7,000.
