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.

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.

SINCE ORIGINAL PURCHASE (NEW) 11/30/14, THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR SYSTEM HAS NOT WORKED CORRECTLY. 3 COMPLAINTS ( ON SITE, IN WRITING) THRU NISSAN DEALER HAVE NOT CORRECTED PROBLEM. QUESTION IS, WILL PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG WORK IF IN A COLLISION? MALFUNCTION MAY RESULT IN MAJOR INJURY OR DEATH. DEALERS ONLY EXPLANATION IS TO WAIT 15 SECONDS BEFORE DRIVING WITH A PASSENGER. INDICATOR SYSTEM WORKS AND FAILS INDISCRIMINATELY.

THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY INDICATES THAT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS OFF WHEN SOMEONE IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS GENERALLY HAPPENS WHEN I FIRST TURN THE VEHICLE ON AND THERE IS SOMEONE ALREADY SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. IF I SHUT THE VEHICLE OFF AND TURN IT BACK ON THEN THE AIRBAG LIGHT WILL GO OFF INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS ON. I TOOK IT TO THE NISSAN DEALER AND THEY SAID THAT THE COMPUTER DOES NOT SHOW A PROBLEM AND THAT THERE IS NOTHING THAT THEY CAN DO ABOUT IT. THEY TOLD ME THAT THE AIRBAG SYSTEM WAS UNDER WARRANTY THROUGH 99,999 MILES OR 2030 IF THERE IS AN INCIDENT IT WOULD BE COVERED. THAT IS NOT VERY REASSURING TO HEAR THAT IF THE AIRBAG FAILS IT WILL BE COVER UNDER WARRANTY.

TAKATA RECALL - IS THIS VEHICLE SUBJECT TO RECALL? ALSO, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAGS WILL ONLY DEPLOY WHEN THE PASSENGER WEIGHS OVER ~110 LBS. MY WIFE IS 5'2" & WEIGHS 106 LBS. WHICH IS THE PROPER WEIGHT FOR SOMEONE HER SIZE. WHEN SHE SITS IN THE SEAT THE AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON, TELLING US SHE IS NOT PROTECTED BY AIRBAGS. IF 40,000+ PEOPLE LIVES HAVE BEEN SAVED BY AIRBAGS, WHY DOES THE INDUSTRY ALLOW LIGHTER WEIGHT PASSENGERS TO NOT BE PROTECTED? IS THIS A RECALL ISSUE?

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHTS UP AND INDICATES THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS "OFF" WHEN AN ADULT OCCUPANT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. EVEN THOUGH THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL (NHTSA CAMPAIGN NUMBER: 16V244000) FOR THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM ONMY VEHICLE. HOWEVER, WHEN I ENTER MY VEHICLE IDENTIFICATION NUMBER INTO THE NHTSA WEBSITE, IT DOES NOT SHOW ANY OUTSTANDING RECALLS FOR MY VEHICLE.

TAKATA INFLATOR. I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM A NISSAN DEALER ABOUT 2 MONTHS AGO. IT STATED THAT I SHOULD BRING IN MY VEHICLE TO REPLACE THE PASSENGER AIR. WHEN I CALLED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT I WAS INFORMED THAT I WOULD BE CALLED BY THE DEALER WHEN THE THEY RECEIVE THE AIR BAG FROM THE MANUFACTURER. I HAVE NOT HEARD FROM THE DEALER. WHEN I CHECKED NHTSA WEBSITE, IT DID NOT SHOW MY VEHICLE AS A RECALLED VEHICLE. I AM CONFUSED. IS THE DEALER BEING HONEST. PREVIOUSLY, THE DEALER HAD REQUESTED THAT I BRING IN MY VEHICLE. THE DEALER STATED THAT THE INDICATOR LIGHT ON THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WAS NOT FUNCTIONING PROPERLY. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS COMPLETED. ON ANOTHER OCCASION I WAS ALSO TOLD TO BRING IN MY VEHICLE FOR A TRANSMISSION PROBLEM. THE DEALER ALSO STATED THAT THE REPAIR WAS PROPERLY COMPLETED.
