Latches/locks/linkages, hood, latchMay 28, 2020
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2018 Nissan Altima vehicles. If the primary hood latch is inadvertently released, there is an increased likelihood that the secondary hood latch may corrode over time.
Corrosion to the secondary latch may cause it to bind and remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed. If the primary latch is inadvertently released again and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a stronger release spring in the hood release lever, a warning label near the secondary hood latch, and an Owners Manual addendum card with instructions on how to lubricate and maintain the secondary hood latch mechanism, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed June 30, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Note: Recall 16V-029 remains open for any unremedied 2013-2015 Altimas and this recall applies to all vehicles covered by 16V-029 even if those repairs have already been performed.

Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationDec 19, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Altima vehicles manufactured January 3, 2013, to July 29, 2013, 2015-2016 Rogue vehicles manufactured October 14, 2014, to August 12, 2016, and 2016 Maxima vehicles manufactured June 4, 2015, to August 19, 2015. An incorrect Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been installed in the front passenger seat. The incorrect ECU and seat combination may misclassify the front passenger seat occupant.
If the front passenger seat occupant is misclassified, the air bag may deploy incorrectly in the event of a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ECU and update the OCS software free of charge. The recall began February 13, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Nissan Altima vehicles manufactured March 6, 2012, to December 31, 2014. In the affected vehicles, the secondary hood latch may bind and remain in the unlatched position when the hood is closed.

The affected vehicles received an incorrect occupant classification system (OCS) control unit during a repair. These OCS control units may incorrectly classify the front passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

In the affected vehicles, due to an improperly installed o-ring that may not have been seated correctly at the time of assembly, fuel may leak during a crash from the area where the fuel sending unit attaches to the fuel tank.

I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY ARE SAYING THEY ARE NOT AWARE OF ANY ISSUE AND WANT TO CHARGE 128$ TO DIAGNOSE THE PROBLEM THAT I KNOW IS A INFERIOR HEADLIGHT DESIGN. I HAVE EVEN BEEN FOLLOWING FRIENDS IN OTHER VEHICLES AND THEY MENTION THAT THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM.
Exterior lighting, Sep 11, 2019
THE HEADLIGHTS HAVE PROGRESSIVELY BECOME MORE AND MORE DIM. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS WITH NO IMPROVEMENT TO THE PROBLEM. IT HAS BECOME DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT UNLESS I USE MY BRIGHTS. MY MECHANIC SAID THE MATERIAL IN THE PROJECTOR HAS WORN DOWN AND THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLIES WILL NEED TO BE REPLACED. THIS IS CLEARLY A WIDESPREAD MANUFACTURING FLAW AND SHOULD BE ADDRESSED.

2013 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM IT IS DANGEROUS. NISSAN SAYS IT IS THEIR PART BUT THEY DO NOT WANT TO DO A RECALL BUT WANT CUSTOMERS TO PAY 1000 TO FIX SOMETHING THAT SHOULD HAVE THIS ISSUE WITH SO MANY CARS. A SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH WILL SHOW HOW MANY PEOPLE MENTION THIS BEING A BIG DANGEROUS ISSUE. I HAVE REPORTED THIS FOR OVER TWO YEARS AND REFUSE TO PAY TO FIX THE DANGER THEY ARE CAUSING BY NOT HAVING THE RECALL. THIS IS CAUSING DRIVERS TO USE THEIR HIGH BEAMS BUT THOSE ARE DIM TOO DUE TO THE FAULTY COVERS NISSAN HAS ON THE HEADLIGHTS. IT IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT AFTER THE SUN GOES DOWN, IN THE RAIN, OR IN THE SNOW. CONSUMER SAFETY IS NOT CARED ABOUT.

I OWN A 2013 ALTIMA. I AM HAVING ISSUES WITH THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS BEING VERY DIM. AT NIGHT I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAM TO SEE. WHEN I DRIVE ON A ROAD THAT'S NOT VERY LIT IT ALMOST SEEMED LIKE MY LIGHTS ARE NOT ON. DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY BECAME VERY UNSAFE WHEN IT WAS STORMING AT 4:00 IN THE MORNING AS I COULDN'T USE MY HIGH BEAMS. THIS REALLY SCARED ME AND FELT UNSAFE TO DRIVE MY CAR AT NIGHT DURING SUCH CONDITIONS. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO NISSAN AND THEY DID COME ACROSS A SAME ISSUE WHICH RESULTED IN HAVING TO REPLACE THE WHOLE HEADLIGHT. CHANGING THE BULB DID NOT HELP. I WOULD LIKE TO REPORT THIS UNSAFE ISSUE, GIVEN THAT AFTER READING UP ON IT, I AM ONLY ONE OF SO MANY OTHERS WITH THE SAME PROBLEM. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY HAZARD FOR MANY DRIVERS ON THE ROAD.

I HAVE SEEN MANY COMPLAINTS REGARDING THE SAME PROBLEM AND BELIEVE THAT THIS SHOULD BE A RECALL PROBLEM. I HAVE NOTICED THE RANGE OF REPAIR ESTIMATES GO ANYWHERE FROM $499 TO $1,600. SINCE ALL COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE DIM LOW LIGHT PROBLEM SEEM TO BE IDENTICAL, IT SOUNDS LIKE A MANUFACTURER'S PROBLEM. I HAVE BARELY 40,000 ON MY CAR AND HAVE LOVED IT, BUT THIS LOW BEAM PROBLEM IS BECOMING A NUISANCE AND A SAFETY FACTOR.
