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.

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.

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.

IT'S VERY DIFFICULT TO SEE WITH ONLY THE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ON. HEADLIGHTS ARE SO DIM THAT I CAN NOT SEE MORE THAN A FOOT IN FRONT OF ME ESPECIALLY IF THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHTS. IT'S PRETTY MUCH LIKE DRIVING WITH NO HEADLIGHTS ON. EVEN PEOPLE THAT HAVE RIDDEN IN MY CAR CAN TELL THE HEADLIGHTS ARE NONEXISTENT. I SUFFERED SOME FRONT END DAMAGE TO MY CAR AFTER HITTING A GARBAGE CAN THAT I DID NOT SEE WHEN I WAS DRIVING HOME AT NIGHT. THIS IS TRULY A VERY DANGEROUS SITUATION.

MY BRIGHTS WORK FINE. I CHANGED BOTH BULBS TO LED AND THERE IS NO CHANGE. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS. I AM GOING TO BUY NEW HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLIES FOR BOTH THE DRIVER AND PASSENGER SIDE.
Exterior lighting, Jan 30, 2020
WHEN YOUR TURN SIGNAL LIGHTS ARE BRIGHTER THAN YOUR LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS YOU KNOW YOU HAVE A NISSAN ALTIMA. LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY DIM. HAVE REPLACED BULBS WITH MAXIMUM BRIGHTNESS TWICE. POLY-CARBONATE HOUSING IS STILL RELATIVELY CLEAR, NO CHANGE IN CONDITION. DRIVING AT NIGHT IS HARROWING. ON HIGHWAY, WHEN CARS ARE BEHIND, THEIR HEADLIGHTS CREATE A SHADOW THAT THE ALTIMA BEAMS CANNOT OVERCOME. ON CITY STREETS OR COUNTY ROADS IF THERE ARE NO STREET LIGHTS THE LOW BEAMS PROJECT ABOUT 20 FEET. HIGH BEAMS OK UNTIL ENCOUNTER ON-COMING TRAFFIC AND MUST SWITCH TO LOW BEAMS. AT THAT POINT YOU ARE TOTALLY IN THE BLACK DUE TO THE ALTIMA WEAK BEAMS AND THE ON-COMING HEADLIGHTS. THE BEST YOU CAN DO IS HOPE THAT A WHITE LINE IS PAINTED ON THE EDGE OF THE ROADWAY AND TRY TO STAY IN THE LANE. FOG CONDITIONS AT NIGHT ARE HORRIBLE WITH WEAK LOW BEAM LIGHTS. VISIBILITY IS ABOUT 3 FEET. TURNING HIGH BEAMS ON MAKES IT EQUALLY BAD. I CAN TRY TO TAKE SOME COMPARISON PICTURES IF NHTSA THINKS IT WILL HELP CLARIFY THIS WELL DOCUMENTED ISSUE WITH THE NISSAN ALTIMA. RESEARCH INDICATES THAT REFLECTOR USED IN LIGHTING HOUSING GOES BAD AND VERY LITTLE LIGHT IS ACTUALLY PROJECTED, NO MATTER WHAT BULB IS INSTALLED. MY VEHICLE IS ALMOST UNUSABLE AT NIGHT AND DEFINITELY IN RAIN OR FOG. ABSOLUTELY WILL NOT LET MY TEEN DRIVE THE ALTIMA AT NIGHT. THIS IS A DANGEROUS SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS USG SUPPORT. NISSAN REFUSES TO TAKE ANY RESPONSIBILITY - REFUTING CLAIMS BY OWNERS AND STATING OVER $1000 TO FIX THE ISSUE. NISSAN WILL NOT RECALL WITHOUT USG INTERVENTION AND WE NEED NHTSA'S HELP!
Exterior lighting, Jan 16, 2020
LOW BEAM LIGHTS ARE EXTREMELY FAINT WHEN DRIVING AT NIGHT OR BAD WEATHER IT'S EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO SEE EVERYONE ALWAYS ASKS IF I HAVE MY LIGHTS ON. I DON'T EVEN DRIVE AT NIGHT OR BAD WEATHER ANYMORE DUE TO THE LACK OF LIGHTING BEING PROJECTED FROM MY 2015 NISSAN ALTIMA IT'S TOO UNSAFE FOR MYSELF AND OTHERS IN MY CAR AND I HAVE 20/20 VISION SO IT'S NOT MY EYES!

THE HEADLIGHTS ON THIS VEHICLE HAVE BEEN REPLACED TWICE. I HAVE HAD THE NISSAN DEALER CHECK THESE HEADLIGHTS AND THEY SAY THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH THEM. THE HEADLIGHTS ARE A SEVERE SAFETY HAZARD FOR NIGHT DRIVING. I HAVE TO USE MY BRIGHTS TO BE ABLE TO SEE AT NIGHT. MY GRANDDAUGHTER BORROWED MY CAR AND SHE THOUGHT THE HEADLIGHTS WERE OFF. THESE HEADLIGHTS NEED A SAFETY RECALL BEFORE SOMEONE GETS KILLED.
Exterior lighting, Jan 12, 2020

HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. BULBS WERE CHANGED AND DON'T HELP. AFTER READING ONLINE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE. THE ENTIRE ASSEMBLY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR BOTH HEADLIGHTS. WE CAN ONLY DRIVE AT NIGHT WITH THE HIGH BEAMS ON! THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. THIS OCCURS ALL THE TIME AND HAS GOTTEN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE.
Exterior lighting, Jan 5, 2020
LOW BEAM HEADLIGHTS ARE VERY DIM. (HIGH BEAM IS FINE.) LOW BEAMS ARE SO DIM YOU HAVE TO ALSO USE THE FOG/DRIVING LIGHTS TO SEE AT NIGHT, MY CAR HAS THEM, SOME MODELS DON,T. CHANGING THE BULBS DID NOT HELP AT ALL, OUTSIDE LENS IS CLEAR. USING HIGH BEAMS AT NIGHT IRRITATES AND IS DANGEROUS TO ON COMING DRIVERS. I DON'T LIKE DRIVING LIKE THAT AT ALL. LOW BEAMS SHOULD BE BRIGHT ENOUGH TO BE SEE, THEY ARE NOT.
Exterior lighting, Jan 2, 2020
THE HEADLIGHTS OF MY NISSAN ALTIMA 2015 IS REALLY WEEK AND IS BECOMING WEAKER DAY BY DAY TO THE POINT IT'S HAZARDOUS TO DRIVE AT NIGHT ESPECIALLY IN RAIN, SNOW OR FOG. I HAVE NOTICED THAT THERE IS ACCUMMULATION OF WATER VAPOR INSIDE THE HEADLIGHT ASSEMBLY. THEY DON'T GO AWAY.
