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.

Latches/locks/linkages, doors, latchJan 18, 2017
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.

An incorrect Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been installed in the front passenger seat.

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.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Altima and 2016 Maxima vehicles manufactured October 6, 2015, to October 7, 2015. The affected vehicles have front brake calipers whose mounting bolts may not be properly tightened.
If the bolts were not properly tightened, the caliper may detach and reduce braking ability, increasing the risk of a crash.

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.

MY 2015 ALTIMA AIRBAG LIGHTS WERE ON, I BROUGHT THE CAR IN FOR SERVICING ON DECEMBER 23RD TO COVER THE RECALL. ON THE 29TH WITH WIFE IN CAR AIRBAG LIGHT CAME BACK ON DASHBOARD. SENSOR DOES NOT WORK PROPERLY IN SEAT. WIFE WEIGHS OVER 120 POUNDS. I LOOKED ONLINE AND FOUND MANY OTHER PEOPLE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE RECALL, THEIR CAR NEVER RECEIVES THE UPDATE AND CUSTOMERS HAVE TO GO BACK IN REPEATEDLY AND THE PROBLEM IS NEVER RESOLVED. SO AIRBAGS WON'T DEPLOY NOW WHEN MY WIFE IS A PASSENGER. NISSAN IS NOT REPLACING EVERYTHING THEY COULD TO FIX THE PROBLEM. FOR SOME THE REPROGRAMMING WORKS. FOR OTHERS THEY NEED COMPLETE REPLACEMENT OF ELECTRONICS. MY CAR IS GOING BACK IN FOR WHAT THEY CALL "SERVICING" AS THE RECALL WAS ALREADY PREFORMED ON THE VEHICLE.

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE FOR MY 2015 ALTIMA FOR THE OCS MODULE. THIS SHUTS OFF THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG IF THE PERSON SITTING IN THE SEAT ISN'T HEAVY ENOUGH TO BE AN ADULT. I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALER AND THEY REPROGRAMMED IT ACCORDING TO THE RECALL DIRECTIONS. TWO DAYS LATER I WAS RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT WHILE MY WIFE WAS DRIVING AND NOTICED THE LIGHT WAS ON THAT TELLS YOU THE FRONT PASSENGER AIR BAG IS OFF. I CALLED THE DEALER AND THEY SAID IT MIGHT NOT HAVE TAKEN THE WHOLE PROGRAM AND THEY WOULD DO IT AGAIN. WHEN I TOOK IT IN THE SERVICE PERSON WOULDN'T EVEN LOOK AT IT OTHER THAN TO SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND TELL ME IT WAS FINE BECAUSE THE LIGHT DIDN'T COME ON. IN THE YEAR I OWNED IT THE LIGHT ONLY CAME ON TWICE WITH AN ADULT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BEFORE THE RECALL. THE SERVICE PERSON EVEN TRIED TO TELL ME THE AIR BAGS WILL WORK WITH THE LIGHT ON SAYING THEY ARE OFF. THAT'S NOT WHAT THE PAPERWORK SAYS THAT THE SAME DEALERSHIP GAVE ME WHEN THEY DID THE RECALL WORK. SO NOW I'M LEFT WITH A CAR THAT SOMEONE IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT COULD GET INJURED OR KILLED IF THERE'S AN ACCIDENT AND THE AIR BAG IS OFF BECAUSE THE OCS MODULE ISN'T READING THEIR WEIGHT RIGHT. I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH NISSAN NORTH AMERICA AND THEY TOLD ME AFTER CONFERRING WITH THE DEALER THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO TO HELP ME. WHAT!!!
