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.

Structure, emergency, escape/egress/exitDec 19, 2018
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Altima vehicles, previously remedied under recall number 17V-040. The door latch-lock cable may not have been routed properly in the rear door when the remedy was applied. As a result, the cable may interfere with the window regulator causing the rear passenger door to unlatch and inadvertently open without warning when the window is lowered.
If the rear passenger door opens while the vehicle is moving, the rear passengers have an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will secure the latch-lock cables in the correct position using the new remedy procedure, free of charge. The recall began February 5, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7669.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Altima vehicles. The rear door latch/lock cable on the vehicles may have been improperly routed. As a result, lowering a rear window may inadvertently cause that door to unlatch and open.
If the rear passenger doors inadvertently open while the vehicle is in motion, it may increase the risk of injury to the rear passengers.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will correct the rear door latch/lock cable routing, free of charge. The recall began on February 16, 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.

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.

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.

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.

TAKATA RECALL- THIS CAR IS THE WORST AND HORRIBLY BUILT. IF YOU SIT IN THE CAR IT LOOKS LIKE A NICE CAR BUT IF YOU TAKE A PEAK YOU WILL SEE HOW HORRIBLE IT IS. UNDER THE STEERING WHEEL YOU CAN SEE THE WIRES HANGING OUT. THE FUEL ON THE CAR IS DONE. WE ALWAYS GET THE CAR CHECKED AND IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING WRONG WITH THE FUEL. WHICH PROBABLY HAS TO DO WITH THE 2015 RECALL THAT WE WEREN'T PROPERLY NOTIFIED ABOUT. THE WINDOWS DO A WEIRD LOCK THING, WHERE SOMETIMES I THINK I'M UNLOCKING THE WINDOW AND THE DOOR AT THE SAME TIME. I HATE THAT WE INVESTED SO MUCH INTO THIS NISSAN AND IT'S PROBABLY THE WORST CAR EVER (AND IVE ONLY HAD NISSANS SINCE I WAS 16 SO THAT SAYS ALOT). WHEN YOUR DRIVING THE CAR JERKS LIKE IT WANTS TO SHUT OFF BUT WHEN WE TAKE IT ANYWHERE THEY DON'T SEE THE PROBLEM. THE CAR IS TRASH.

I JUST CALLED NISSAN. ON JUNE 8 18 I TOOK MY CAR TO CHANDLER NISSAN FOR PRE PURCHASE INSPECTION. THEY SAID IT HAD A RECALL FOR THE TRANSMISSION, CHECKED IT AND SAID EVERYTHING LOOKED FINE. I RECEIVED A QUOTE ON THE EXTENDED WARRANTY WHILE THERE. I LATER CALLED AND EMAILED TO EXTEND MY WARRANTY BUT KEPT GETTING THE RUN AROUND. FAST FORWARD TO THIS WEEKEND, GETTING ON THE FREEWAY NO ACCELERATION AT ALL. RPM JUST THROUGH THE ROOF. ITS DONE THAT A FEW TIMES NOW, SINCE THE DAY I BOUGHT IT (AFTER INSPECTION) IT WOULD LAG TO ACCELERATE JUST NOT TOTALLY LIKE IT DID NOW. I'M A GIRL AND THOUGHT THAT WAS NORMAL IT JUST DIDN'T PICK UP AND GO AND WHINED A LITTLE. TODAYS MILES = 61850. CALLED NISSAN, THEY WILL LOOK INTO IT AND GET BACK TO ME... THE CAR HAD 57468 MILES AT THE TIME OF INSPECTION AND WAS UNDER WARRANTY. THE OTHER ISSUE WAS ABOUT A MONTH AGO, BEFORE I HIT 60K THE SIDE AIRBAG ALERT WENT OFF. AFTER RESTARTING THE CAR IT DISAPPEARED. TOOK IT TO MIDWAY NISSAN AND THEY SAID COULD BE A FAULTY SENSOR OR COULD BE A DEFECT IN THE AIRBAG BUT ITS NOT COVERED UNDER WARRANTY. THEY QUOTED $1400 TO FIX THAT. I FORGOT TO TELL THE NISSAN REP THAT WHEN I CALLED BUT I WILL DO SO WHEN THEY CALL ME BACK. HOPING THEY WILL BE HELPFUL. I WILL UPDATE AS I GET MORE INFO.

AIR BAG INDICATOR ON DASHBOARD CAME ON SUDDENLY ONE MORNING AT MILEAGE OF 86,500 AND WOULD NOT GO OFF EVEN AFTER RE-STARTING. WE TOOK THE VEHICLE TO OUR LOCAL DEALERSHIP WERE WE PURCHASED THE VEHICLE, TO BE DIAGNOSED. THE DEALERSHIP DETERMINED IT WAS A FAULTY OCS FOR THE OCCUPANT SIDE AIRBAG AND THAT IT WOULD NOT BE COVER EVEN THOUGH WE HAD A GOLD 120,000 EXTENDED WARRANTY WITH NO-DEDUCTIBLES. THIS IS ONE OF HE EXCLUDED PARTS NOT COVERED UNDER THE EXTENDED WARRANTY. I REACHED OUT TO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON 11-30-18 AFTER DISCUSSING WITH THE DEALERSHIP AND SPOKE WITH A HELEN EMPLOYEE #7319348 AND WAS ASSIGNED CASE# 33678608 AND WAS TOLD SOMEONE WOULD GET BACK TO ME BY THE END OF THE DAY 12-3-18. ON 12-3-18 BRANDAN FRO NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS CALLED BACK, BUT I MISSED HIS CALL. I RETURNED HIS CALL AND LEFT MESSAGES FOR HIM TO CALL ME BACK ON 2 MORE OCCASIONS BUT DID NOT HEAR BACK FROM HIM. ON THE MORNING OF 12-5-18 I CALLED HIM AGAIN AND WAS ABLE TO SPEAK WITH HIM. BRANDAN EMPLOYEE # 33678608 TOLD ME THAT THEY WOULD NOT BE COVERING THE PART OR LABOR INVOLVED (APPROX COST ACCORDING TO DEALERSHIP OF $450 FOR PARTS AND LABOR). I EXPLAINED TO HIM THAT THIS PARTICULAR VEHICLE HAD A TOTAL OF 8 RECALLS DOCUMENTED UNDER THE NHTSA OF WHICH 3 OF DEALT WITH THE OCCUPANT SIDE AIRBAG AND OCS (#16V911000, #16V24400 AND #15V681000) AND THAT IT WAS A SAFTY ISSUE AND WAS NO FAULT OF OURS AND BASED UPON ALL THIS INFORMATION THE CORRECT THING TO DO WOULD BE TO COVER THIS ISSUE. HE APOLOGIZED OVER-AND-OVER BUT WOULD NOT COMMIT TO COVER THIS. IT IS OF MY OPINION AND THE OPINION OF THE DEALERSHIP THAT THIS ISSUE IS MOST LIKELY RELATED TO ANY ONE OF THOSE 3 RECALLS AND I AM THEREFORE CALLING UPON THE NHTSA TO ASSIST WITH THIS BY ADDING THIS AS ANOTHER RECALL AND ALLOWING US TO GET REIMBURSED FOR THE ISSUE AS WELL AS TO PROTECT OTHER OWNERS THAT MAY ENCOUNTER THE SAME ISSUE.

I WAS DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD AT 70 MPH ON A HIGHWAY AT THE TIME. I HAVE THIS ON VIDEO THAT SHOWS THAT THIS LASTED FOR APPROXIMATELY 12 MINUTES BEFORE THE LIGHT WENT OFF AND THE AIRBAG SYSTEM INDICATED THAT THE AIRBAG WOULD DEPLOY IN THE EVENT OF AN EMERGENCY. THIS IS 12 MINUTES WHERE MY WIFE WAS NOT PROTECTED BY AN AIRBAG SYSTEM. THE VIDEO THAT I HAVE IS FROM AND IPHONE AND IS NOT IN A SUPPORTED FILE FORMAT FOR UPLOADING. I WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEND IT TO YOU ANOTHER WAY. I CONTACTED THE NHTSA ABOUT 8 MONTHS AGO ABOUT THIS ISSUE AND HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING. I CONTACTED NISAN AT THE SAME TIME AND THEY INDICATED THAT WITHOUT ANY ERROR CODES, THERE IS NO PROOF THAT THIS IS AN ISSUE OR IS REALLY HAPPENING. I HAVE DOCUMENTED VIDEO EVIDENCE THAT THIS IN FACT DID OCCUR. THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE IN WHICH NO ONE SEAMS TO CARE ABOUT. YOU WOULD THINK THAT WITH ALL OF THE RECENT TROUBLES WITH AIRBAGS, SOMEONE WOULD TAKE SOME INTEREST IN LOOKING INTO THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE ISSUE. I AM ASKING THE NHTSA TO PLEASE ASSIST ME IN GETTING THIS SAFETY ISSUE RESOLVED. I CONTACTED NISAN AGAIN AND THEY HAVE NOT RETURNED MY CALL.
