Recalls and investigations
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.

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. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

THE PLASTIC SHROUD THAT COVERS THE BOTTOM PART OF THE DRIVER SEAT HAS SHARP EDGES, AND STICKS OUT TO A POINT TO WHERE IT CUTS MY CALVES WHEN I ENTER AND EXIT THE CAR. I HAD THE DEALER CORRECT THE PROBLEM, HOWEVER, THE WAY THEY REPOSITIONED THE PLASTIC SHROUD NOW CUTS INTO THE SEAT ITSELF. I INFORMED NISSAN ABOUT THE PROBLEM OF THE SHROUD NOW CUTTING INTO MY SEAT, AND WAS TOLD "THERE IS NOTING ELSE WE CAN DO ABOUT THIS..", SO I GUESS I WILL HAVE TO PAY FOR EITHER A NEW DRIVER SIDE SEAT DOWN THE LINE, OR HAVE TO PAY TO HAVE IT REPAIRED.

THE REAR VIEW CAMERA IS VERY BLURRY AND OUT OF FOCUS AT NIGHT ON THE 7 INCH DISPLAY. IT'S NOT TOTALLY CLEAR DURING DAY TIME EITHER. IT APPEARS TO BE THE SAME BAD QUALITY ON ALL ALTIMA'S I TRIED IT ON. ADJUSTING BRIGHTNESS, CONTRAST, AND COLOR DOES NOT HELP. THE CAMERA SHOULD FUNCTION WELL FOR SAFETY. I HAVE OTHER VEHICLES WITH REVERSE CAMERAS AND THEY WORK MUCH BETTER DAY AND NIGHT.

WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE STREET & APPROACHING A RED LIGHT, I HEARD A LOUD POP AS IF IT WAS A GUN SHOT!! I PULLED OVER & NOTICED THAT MY WINDSHIELD HAD A CRACK IN IT.
Air bags, Sep 10, 2016
AIRBAG SENSOR IS ACCORDING TO THE NISSAN DEALER ONLY ACTIVATING THE AIRBAG IF THE PASSENGER IS OVER 120LBS. MY WIFE IS UNDER THIS WEIGHT AND THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ON EVERY TIME WE DRIVE SOMEWHERE. NISSAN HAS TRIED TO PLAY IT OFF SAYING IT'S ACTUALLY SAFER FOR AN ADULT UNDER 120LBS TO HAVE THE AIRBAG OFF. THIS IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE AND I DO NOT HAVE THIS PROBLEM IN MY VW OR MY MAZDA.

"TAKATA RECALL" I HAVE A 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA THAT I HAVE OWNED ABOUT 6 MONTHS. THE WINDSHIELD WIPERS DO NOT CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD VERY WELL WHEN IT IS RAINING. IT IS VERY HARD TO SEE WHEN IT IS RAINING AND IT IS SCARY. I HAVE OWNED 2 OTHER NISSAN'S, A 2007 ALTIMA AND A 2011 ALTIMA AND HAVE NEVER HAD THIS ISSUE. IT SEEMS LIKE THE WIPER BLADE IS NOT CLOSE ENOUGH TO THE WINDSHIELD TO CLEAR IT PROPERLY. I MENTIONED IT AT THE DEALERSHIP AND THE SERVICEMAN SAID THEY HAVE HAD OTHER COMPLAINTS BUT NO RECALL. I ASKED IF HE THOUGHT IT WOULD HELP TO REPLACE THEM AND HE SAID THERE WAS NO GUARANTEE. WE WERE IN PANAMA CITY, FL LAST WEEKEND AND HAD OUR SON-IN-LAW AND GRANDCHILD WITH US AND IT STARTED POURING RAIN. WE COULD BARELY SEE, THEY WERE TRYING TO LOOK OUT THE SIDE WINDOWS TO SEE HOW TO STAY ON THE ROAD. IF THE WIPERS WOULD CLEAR THE WINDSHIELD PROPERLY THIS WOULD NOT BE AN ISSUE. WE WERE ALL SCARED TO DEATH. WE WERE BARELY MOVING AND WAS RIGHT AT OUR CONDO. IT WOULD BE NICE IF A RECALL COULD TAKE PLACE TO ADJUST OR REPAIR THIS ISSUE. THE WIPERS WON'T EVEN CLEAR A BUG OFF THE WINDSHIELD IF YOU WET IT WITH WIPER FLUID AND TRY TO RINSE IT OFF. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE. *TR

MY 2016 NISSAN ALTIMA SR STALLS/LOSES POWER WHILE ACCELERATING, LIKE INTO TRAFFIC, OR WHILE SLOWING DOWN AND THE ACCELERATING AGAIN. I HAVE HAD IT TO THE DEALERSHIP BUT THEY CAN'T DETERMINE WHAT IS CAUSING THE ISSUE AND CAN'T DUPLICATE IT ON DEMAND. THIS HAS HAPPEN SEVERAL TIMES SINCE I PURCHASED IT ON FEB 29, 2016 THE DEALERSHIP INSTALLED A NEW PART PERTAINING TO THE BRAKES WHICH CAUSE IT TO NOT ACCELERATE WHILE THE BRAKE IS APPLIED BUT THE PROBLEM HAS CONTINUED SINCE THAT WAS INSTALLED. THE ISSUE HAS ALWAYS SEEMED TO HAPPEN AFTER THE CAR HAS SET FOR AN EXTENDED TIME (WHILE I'M AT WORK, ETC) USUALLY AFTER IT HAPPENS IT WILL DRIVE AND FUNCTION AS NORMAL FOR SOME TIME. (PROBLEM WITH DUPLICATING IT BY THE DEALERSHIP) THE DEALERSHIP HAS MY CAR AT THE PRESENT TIME BUT PLANS TO RETURN IT TO ME WITHOUT SOLVING THE PROBLEM. MY FEAR IS THAT THIS COULD CAUSE AN ACCIDENT IN THE FUTURE IF ITS NOT SOLVED.
