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.

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.

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.

Exterior lighting, Mar 9, 2019
I AM ISSUING A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA DUE TO THE EXTREME DULLNESS OF HEADLIGHT POWER. NISSAN HAS FAILED TO ACKNOWLEDGE THIS ISSUE, AND THE FACT THAT IS INDEED A SAFETY CONCERN. THERE HAVE BEEN MANY TIMES WHERE I HAVE HAD TO SLAM ON MY BREAKS BECAUSE I NEARLY HIT A LARGE ANIMAL OR OTHER OBJECT IN THE ROAD. MY HEADLIGHTS DO NOT PROJECT FAR OR WIDE. ID ESTIMATE THEY PROJECT 4 FEET IN FRONT OF ME, I HAVE TRIED ADJUSTING THE HEADLIGHTS UP AND CHANGING TO VERY EXPENSIVE AND HIGH QUALITY LED BULBS, WITH NO IMPROVEMENT.
Exterior lighting, Mar 1, 2019
DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS VERY DIM AND VERY HARD TO SEE AT NIGHT. I REPLACED THE BULB, BUT AFTER REPLACING THE BULB IT STILL VERY DIM ON DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT. ITS VERY HARD TO DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THIS POOR LIGHTING. IF I DRIVE WITH HIGH BEAMS OTHER CARS FLASH ME TO LOWER THE LIGHT BECAUSE I BLIND THEM WITH THE HIGH BEAMS.
Exterior lighting, Visibility/wiper, Mar 1, 2019
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. I EVEN REPLACE THEM WITH HID AND LED LIGHT BUT NO CHANGE VERY LOW VISIBILITY AT NIGHT
Exterior lighting, Feb 27, 2019
DRIVER SIDE HEADLIGHT IS DIM. CHANGING THE BULB DOESN'T HELP. THE PROJECTOR INSIDE THE HOUSING GOES BAD PREMATURELY AND THE HEADLIGHT MUST BE REPLACED AS A WHOLE. I HAD THIS CAR BRAND NEW AND IT'S WELL TAKEN CARE OF. IT HAS 82K MILES ON IT. MY WIFE WAS PULLED OVER BECAUSE OF THIS. NISSAN WILL NOT HELP.
Exterior lighting, Feb 21, 2019
I HAVE A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA SV, AND THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE DANGEROUSLY DIM. I ALSO DID SOME ONLINE SEARCHES AND FIND THAT OTHER ALTIMA OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE DIM LOW BEAM IS OBVIOUSLY A SAFETY ISSUE! THE CLOUDY PROJECTOR LENS IS THE REASON! BECAUSE, FIRSTLY I REPLACED THE BULBS, BUT THERE WAS NO CHANGE; SECONDLY, THE HIGH BEAM WORKS PERFECTLY, INDICATING THE THERE IS NO PROBLEM WITH THE OUTER TRANSPARENT SHIELD. THE HIGH BEAM BULB LIES IN A REGULAR REFLECTION BOWL RATHER THAN IN A PROJECTOR LIKE THE LOW BEAM USED. OTHER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH REGULAR REFLECTION BOWL FOR LOW BEAM WORKS PERFECTLY, SUCH AS 2007 BUICK LUCERNE (12 YEARS AGE!). THEREFORE, THE DESIGN OF THE LOW BEAM USING A PROJECTOR ON 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA IS DEFECTIVE, PUTTING THE DRIVER AND PASSENGERS INTO DANGER WHEN THE LOW-BEAM HEADLIGHTS GETTING DIM. THEY NEED TO OPEN A RECALL AND REPLACE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.
Exterior lighting, Feb 20, 2019
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE BARELY VISIBLE ON LOW BEAM AT NIGHT AND THE NEW BULBS WILL NOT FIX THE PROBLEM. I SPOKE WITH SOMEONE AT NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY KNOW THIS IS COMMON PROBLEM BUT THEY ARE NOT DOING ANYTHING TO FIX IT. THIS IS A VERY REAL SAFETY ISSUE FOR THE DIRVER , AS IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO DRIVE AT NIGHT
Electrical system, Exterior lighting, Feb 19, 2019
THE BULBS ARE FADING AND HAVE BEEN REPLACED. MY RESEARCH SHOWS THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY OWNER FINDING THIS PROBLEM.
Exterior lighting, Feb 18, 2019
DRIVER SIDE LOW BEAM IS EXTREMELY DIM. HAD IT LOOKED AT. HEADLIGHT HOUSING. $700. AT NIGHT I CAN'T SEE SO I HAVE TO KEEP MY HIGH BEAMS ON.
Exterior lighting, Feb 16, 2019
THE LAST COUPLE MONTHS I NOTICED THE HEADLIGHT WERE GETTING DIMMER. I REPLACED THE BULBS WITH ONES THAT ARE 60% BRIGHTER BUT IT WAS MARGINALLY BRIGHTER. I CAN BARELY SEE A FEW FEET IN FRONT IF IT'S COMPLETELY DARK. I CAN SEE MY CAR'S SHADOW CAST FROM THE LIGHTS OF THE CAR BEHIND ME. I CANNOT TELL IF THE LIGHTS ARE ON UNTIL I'M RIGHT BEHIND A VEHICLE. ROAD SIGNS ARE BARELY LUMINATED AND I HAVE TO SWITCH TO HIGH BEAMS IF THERE ARE NO CARS AHEAD OF ME.
Exterior lighting, Feb 13, 2019
HEADLIGHTS (NORMAL DRIVING) ARE EXTREMELY DIM. DIFFICULT TO SEE AT TIME, USING FOGLIGHTS AND HIGH BEAMS TO MAKE SAFE.
Exterior lighting, Feb 11, 2019
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. BULBS HAVE BEEN REPLACED AND NO CHANGE IN LIGHTING. AT NIGHT THE LIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT YOU CANNOT SEE IF ANYTHING IS IN THE STREET AHEAD. I HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL I PULL BEHIND SOMEONE TO SEE IF THE LIGHTS ARE STILL ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS AND I HAVE READ MANY COMPLAINTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM. I WAS TOLD THAT THE BATTERY WAS LOW. REPLACED THE BATTERY AND NO CHANGE IN THE LIGHTING. SOMETHING NEEDS TO BE DONE ABOUT THIS. I HAVE NOT HAD AN ACCIDENT BUT SOMETHING IS BOUND TO HAPPEN TO SOMEONE SOONER OR LATER DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. I DON'T FEEL SOMEONE SHOULD BE INJURED OR KILLED BEFORE SOMETHING IS DONE ABOUT THE PROBLEM.
Exterior lighting, Feb 9, 2019
LOW BEAMS ARE EXTREMELY DIM CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD. FORCED TO USE HIGH BEAMS TO SEE THE ROAD. INTERNET IS FILLED WITH SAME COMPLAINT. MAY BE THE DESIGN THAT PRESENTS A PROJECTION PROBLEM. HAS BEEN ONGOING, BUT GETTING WORSE WITH TIME.
Exterior lighting, Feb 7, 2019
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE TOO DIM TO DRIVE SAFELY AT NIGHT. YOU CANNOT SEE MORE THAN A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR. HIGH BEAMS MUST BE USED TO SEE ON ROADS THAT HAVE NO STREET LIGHTS. I HAVE HIT MULTIPLE THINGS IN THE ROAD WHEN THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION AT NIGHT DUE TO THE FACT THAT I CAN NOT SEE THEM UNTIL IT IS TOO LATE TO MANEUVER OUT OF THE WAY.
Exterior lighting, Feb 1, 2019
THE LOW BEAMS ON MY VEHICLE ARE VERY DIM. AT NIGHT I NEED TO DRIVE WITH MY HIGH BEAMS ON TO SEE. THIS IS A COMMON DEFECT IN THIS MAKE MODEL YEAR CAR FROM RESEARCH I'VE CONDUCTED. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER IT WAS PURCHASED FROM SEVERAL TIMES, ONLY TO BE TOLD THAT THE LIGHTS ARE FINE. PROGRESSIVELY GETTING WORSE.
Exterior lighting, Jan 30, 2019
MY LOW BEAM LIGHTS HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN DIMMER. CHANGING THE BULBS DIDN'T SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IT IS BECOMING TOO DANGEROUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT.
Exterior lighting, Jan 27, 2019
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM, THEY ARE VERY UNSAFE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT YOU CAN'T SEE MORE THAN A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF THE VEHICLE, STREET SIGNS AND ROAD REFLECTORS DO NOT ILLUMINATE AT ALL. I HAVE REPLACED THE BULBS SEVERAL TIMES WITH OUT ANY IMPROVEMENT, THE MOST RECENT CHANGE WAS MADE WITH A NEW LED LIGHTING KIT WITH NO IMPROVEMENT IN THE DOWN ROAD VISION. THE PROBLEM DOES NOT CHANGE IF THE VEHICLE IS STANDING AT IDLE OR IN MOTION.
Exterior lighting, Jan 21, 2019
THE HEADLIGHTS ARE PROGRESSIVELY GETTING MORE DIM OVER TIME. LIGHTS ARE DIM ALL THE TIME, NOT RELATED TO IDLE OR OTHER FUNCTIONS. MILEAGE IS 80,000 MILES. NIGHT DRIVING IS HAZARDOUS. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE LIGHTING ONLY A FEW FEET IN FRONT OF THE CAR, NOT ILLUMINATING TRAFFIC SIGNS, DIFFICULTY WHEN MAKING TURNS AT A CORNER OR DRIVEWAY. I HAVE TO USE MY HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT, THE HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE BUT ARE A HAZARD FOR ONCOMING TRAFFIC. THIS IS NOW A SAFETY HAZARD THAT NEEDS IMMEDIATE ATTENTION.
Exterior lighting, Jan 15, 2019
HEADLAMPS ARE DIMMING AND NIGHT TIME DRIVING REQUIRES THE USE OF HIGH BEAMS. DEALER STATED THAT IT IS NORMAL WEAR AND TEAR. ONLY OPTION IS TO REPLACE THE HEADLAMPS. VEHICLE HAS 52,600 MILES. IT IS NOT SAFE TO DRIVE WITHOUT GOOD ILLUMINATED VISIBILITY.
Exterior lighting, Jan 14, 2019
TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA. THE CONTACT STATED THAT THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WERE DIM AND THE HIGH BEAM HEADLIGHTS HAD TO BE USED WHEN DRIVING. THE VEHICLE WAS TAKEN TO NISSAN OF LAS CRUCES (1801 S MAIN ST, LAS CRUCES, NM 88005, 575-523-5571). THE VEHICLE WAS NOT DIAGNOSED, BUT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE REPLACED. THE MANUFACTURER WAS NOT NOTIFIED OF THE FAILURE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 125,000.
Exterior lighting, Jan 13, 2019
THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON OUR 2014 NISSAN ALTIMA ARE SO DIM YOU CAN BARELY SEE. I CHANGED THE BULBS OUT TO A BRIGHTER AFTERMARKET LED BULB AND THE DIFFERENCE IS MINIMAL AT BEST. THE HIGH BEAMS ARE STILL VERY BRIGHT BUT THEY ARE NOT THE PROJECTION STYLE. IN ORDER TO BE ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT WHEN THERE IS ONCOMING TRAFFIC I MUST KEEP THE FOG LIGHTS ONTO LIGHT UP THE ROAD. THE ILLUMINATION IS SO POOR THAT SECURITY LIGHTS THAT ARE OVER PEOPLE'S DRIVEWAYS ARE BRIGHTER THAN THE HEADLIGHTS AND DRIVING AT NIGHT IN THE RAIN IS BASICALLY IMPOSSIBLE ON LOW BEAM. I'VE TALKED TO A NISSAN MECHANIC AND HE SAID THE ONLY TRUE FIX WILL BE TO REPLACE THE ENTIRE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY BECAUSE THEIR ARE ISSUES WITH THE MATERIALS BREAKING DOWN INSIDE THE PROJECTOR PORTION OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. IF THAT'S THE CASE NISSAN HAS DONE A POOR JOB OF DESIGNING THEIR HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY AND SHOULD REPLACE THEM AT THEIR COST AS THIS IS A VERY REAL HAZARD. AFTER SPEAKING TO THE MECHANIC I STARTED LOOKING ONLINE AND HAVE FOUND THIS ISN'T AN ISOLATED ISSUE, EVIDENTLY IT'S ALL ALTIMAS FROM 2013-2015 THAT ARE EXPERIENCING THIS PROBLEM.
Suspension, Exterior lighting, Jan 12, 2019
HEADLAMPS ARE VERY DIM WHILE DRIVING AT NIGHT. CONTROL ARMS ARE LOOSE, I'M GUESSING THE RESULT OF THE 2 FLAPS ON EACH SIDE.UNDERNEATH THE CAR KEEPS COMING LOOSE EVEN AFTER REPLACING PLASTIC SCREWS. NO ACCIDENTS HAVE OCCURRED.
Exterior lighting, Jan 8, 2019
ISSUE WITH HEADLIGHTS BEING TOO DIM AND UNABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT. POLICE HAS STOPPED ME AND CONFIRMED THAT DRIVING THE CAR WITH THE DIM LIGHT MAKE IT NOT STREET LEGAL. NISSAN DEALER SAYS THERE IS NO FIX AND ONLY SOLUTION IS TO REPLACE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY.
Exterior lighting, Jan 6, 2019
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS WAY TOO QUICKLY, BECOME UNSAFE DUE TO WELL KNOWN FAULTY MANUFACTURER DEFECT. FAULTY PART MAY BE CALLED "REFLECTOR". LIGHT OUTPUT QUALITY IS NOT SAFE! NEITHER THE RIGHT OR LEFT HEADLIGHT PROVIDE ENOUGH LIGHT TO SAFELY OPERATE MY VEHICLE WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT. THIS IS A WELL KNOW ISSUE! YET, NISSAN HAS NOT ISSUED A SAFETY RECALL??? HOWEVER, THIS NISSAN MANUFACTURE WELL KNOWN SAFETY DEFECT WILL BE FIXED THROUGH NISSAN FOR THE OBSCENE COST OF APPROXIMATELY $1000. DISGUSTING, SAD, AND UNACCEPTABLE! AFTER RESEARCHING, THERE ARE MANY, MANY DRIVERS, MYSELF INCLUDED, THAT HAVE BEEN FORCED TO FILE COMPLAINTS WITH THE NHTSA. UNFORTUNATELY FOR ME, I DID NOT KNOW ABOUT THE HIGH AMOUNT OF CUSTOMERS HAVING TO SPEND SO MUCH MONEY TO FIX A PROBLEM NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT?? I PURCHASED NEW HIGH QUALITY REPLACEMENT BULBS, HAD HEADLIGHTS RE-AIMED, AND HAD HEADLIGHT COVERS PROFESSIONALLY CLEANED. NOTHING HELPED!! AFTER RESEARCHING, IT APPEARS THE WELL KNOW ISSUE IS A FAULTY PART ENCLOSED INSIDE OF THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. I BELIEVE IT IS CALLED A "REFLECTOR"? I HAVE WASTED $200 FOR NEW BULBS, RE-AIMING, AND HAVING LENSES CLEANED. THIS AGAIN, IS FLAT OUT DISGUSTING. HAD NISSAN INFORMED ME OF THIS DEFECT, I WOULD NOT HAVE WASTED MY TIME AND MONEY. I ALSO SUFFERED SEVERE FRUSTRATION WHEN ALL THAT I TRIED DID NOT HELP. ALL THE WHILE NISSAN KNEW I WAS WASTING MY TIME, MONEY, AND WELL BEING. PLEASE HOLD NISSAN ACCOUNTABLE. A LESS VIGILANT DRIVER MAY NOT REALIZE THE DANGEROUS SITUATION THEY ARE DRIVING IN, AND... THANK YOU NHTSA!
Exterior lighting, Jan 5, 2019
I HAVE VERY DIM HEADLIGHTS. I'VE TRIED LED'S AND THE BEST HALOGENS. I'VE CLEANED INSIDE OF THE PROJECTORS, BUT IN A DAY OR TWO, THE PROJECTORS CLOUDS UP AGAIN. CALLED NISSAN, AND THE WOULD MAYBE GIVE 300 BUCKS AGAINST 1500 TO 1800. OR I COULD DRIVE WITH THE HIGH BRIGHTS ON.
Exterior lighting, Jan 5, 2019
LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE TOO LOW. IT MAKES IT DIFFICULT TO SEE AT NIGHT. I RECENTLY HAD THE LIGHTS REPLACED AS THEY HAD BLEW OUT. THE REPLACEMENT LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY LIGHT. WHEN DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY I OFTEN TIMES HAVE TO TURN THE LIGHTS OFF AND TURN BACK ON AS IT APPEARS TO NOT BE ON. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS TO DRIVE LIKE THIS. 2014 VEHICLE SHOULD NOT HAVE LOW BEAM ISSUES AS THE CAR DOES.
