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.

Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationApr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. 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. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

Latches/locks/linkages, hood, latchJan 22, 2016
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.
If the primary latch is inadvertently released and the secondary latch is not engaged, the hood could unexpectedly open while driving, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
These vehicles were previously included in recalls 14V-565 and 15V-116, however the previous remedy plan may not have been performed consistently to remove the safety risk. To correct this issue, Nissan will re-notify all affected owners and dealers will replace the hood latch with a new one, free of charge. The recall began on February 17, 2016. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261. Note: This recall supersedes recalls 14V-565 and 15V-116.

Air bags, frontalOct 20, 2015
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Altima and Pathfinder vehicles, 2013-2014 Nissan Sentra vehicles, 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles, 2014-2015 Infiniti QX60 vehicles and 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid vehicles. 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.

Fuel system, gasolineAug 4, 2015
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) notified the agency on July 31, 2015, that they are recalling certain model year 2016 Nissan Maxima vehicles manufactured February 10, 2015, to August 18, 2015. On October 14, 2015, Nissan expanded the recall to cover an additional 41,388 vehicles, including certain model year 2013-2015 Altima 3.5 vehicles equipped with a V6 engine manufactured March 30, 2012, to August 18, 2015 as well as the vehicles covered by the July 31, 2015 notification. 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.
If fuel leaks from between the fuel sending unit and the tank, it may increase the risk of a fire in the event of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a retainer ring between the fuel tank and the fuel sending unit. The recall began on September 28, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

THE DOUBLE SAFETY FEATURE OF PRESSING THE BREAK TO START THE CAR BECOMES VOID WHEN THE CALIPER HAS AN ISSUE EVEN WITHOUT THE BRAKE LIGHT ENGAGING TO SHOW AN ISSUE. THE CAR IS TRICKED INTO THINKING THAT THE BREAK IS BEING PRESSED AND WILL ALLOW YOU TO START IT WITH JUST PRESSING THE START BUTTON. MY 8YR OLD WAS IN THE CAR PLAYING WHILE I WAS CLEANING IT AND WAS ALSO ABLE TO PUT THE CAR IN GEAR DUE TO THE MECHANICAL SYSTEM READING THAT THE BREAK WAS ENGAGED.

TAKATA RECALL- I NOTICED THAT SOMETIMES THE 'AIRBAG' LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER SIDE WILL BE ON AND NO ONE OR ANYTHING WOULD BE ON THE PASSENGER SIDE.
Electrical system, Air bags, Aug 9, 2017
AFTER TAKING IN MY ALTIMA 2014 SV FOR A RECALL ON THE AIRBAG SENSORS, THE ISSUE DID NOT GO AWAY. THE ISSUE IS THAT THERE IS THAT ABOUT HALF THE TIMES A PASSENGER SITS NEXT TO THE DRIVER SEAT, THE AIRBAG SYSTEM DOES NOT DETECT THEM. I AM HAVING TO RESTART THE CAR FOR SECURITY PURPOSES IN CASE SOMETHING ENDS UP HAPPENING. I AM ALSO HAVING AN ISSUE WITH MY AC SYSTEM. I REPLACED THE COMPRESSOR A YEAR AGO AND IT SEEMS TO BE FAILING AGAIN. AS A SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER I CAN SAFELY SAY THAT THERE IS DEFINITELY AN ISSUE WITH THEIR SOFTWARE. I HOPE THEY CAN FIX THIS SOON. THANKS, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6).?*JB

SINCE PURCHASING THIS CAR IN EARLY 2015 I HAVE EXPERIENCED THE FOLLOWING: OCCASIONALLY THE CAR ALARM WILL SOUND / LIGHTS WILL FLASH EITHER BY MANUALLY PRESSING THE BUTTON ON THE DRIVERS DOOR, PASSENGERS DOOR OR THE TRUNK LID (WITH KEY FOB IN POCKET OR IN HAND) THIS ISSUE ALSO OCCURS USING EITHER ONE OF MY FACTORY KEY FOBS UNLOCK BUTTONS (BOTH WITH NEW BATTERIES INSTALLED BY THE DEALER). BY PRESSING THE FOBS UNLOCK BUTTON AGAIN OR PRESSING THE DOOR BUTTON AGAIN A SECOND TIME, THE ALARM TURNS OFF AND THE DOOR UNLOCKS. I HAVE HAD THIS IN TO THE DEALER FOUR TIMES IN THE LAST YEAR BUT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPRODUCE THE PROBLEM. I AM TOLD EACH TIME THAT NISSAN WILL NOT AUTHORIZE SERVICE UNLESS THEY SEE IT HAPPEN OR SOME CODE IS STORED. WHY WON'T NISSAN UPPER LEVEL TECHNICIANS BECOME INVOLVED WITH THESE KINDS OF PROBLEMS?

I HAVE HAD MANY ISSUES WHILE DRIVING ON A STREET, HIGHWAY, AND AT A STOP. ALL THE ISSUES SEEMS TO POINT TO EITHER SOFTWARE OR ELECTRICAL ISSUES. I HAVE COMPLAINED TO THE DEALERSHIP ON MANY OCCASIONS. I BOUGHT MY CAR WITH ONLY APPROX. 7-10 MILES ON IT IN JAN. 2014. SINCE THE BEGINNING, I HAVE HAD MY ENTIRE DASHBOARD SHUT OFF W/O WARNING. NAVIGATION, RADIO, CAMERA, ETC. COMPLETELY SHUTS OFF, AIR BAGS LIGHTS TURNING OFF AND ON, THE AIR CONDITIONER INTERMITTINGLY WORKING WHENEVER IT CHOOSES, THE CIGARETTE LIGHTERS (BOTH) THAT I USE TO CHARGE MY PHONE NO LONGER WORKS, AND ACCELERATION NOT ACCELERATING PROPERLY (TRANSMISSION ISSUE?). I HAVE NOT EVER HAD SO MANY CAR PROBLEMS, ESPECIALLY WITH A NEW CAR. WHEN I ASK THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT RECALLS, THEY ARE ONLY CONCERNED WITH REPAIR COSTS THEY WANT TO COLLECT, IN WHICH I UNDERSTAND. HOWEVER, WHAT I DO NOT UNDERSTAND IS LOOKING UP THE ISSUE ONLINE AND SEEING HUNDREDS OF THE SAME COMPLAINTS. JUST WITH THE SAME AIR CONDITIONER ISSUE ALONE, ON ONLY ONE SITE, THERE WERE ALMOST 600 CUSTOMER COMPLAINTS. I WAS ASTOUNDED. I CAN'T BELIEVE THERE ARE NOT MORE RECALLS WITH WHAT I HAVE READ. BESIDES SERIOUS BODILY INJURIES OR DEATH, DO NISSAN OWNERS NEED TO GET THE MEDIA INVOLVED TO GET SOMETHING DONE. LOCALLY, THERE IS A TV STATION THAT DEDICATES A SEGMENT TO CONSUMER REVIEWS AND COMPLAINTS. IT'S CERTAINLY A CONSIDERATION AT THIS POINT.
