Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Rogue, 2019-2020 Altima, 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50, and 2022 Infiniti QX55 vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. The engine bearings may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine failure.
Engine failure increases the risk of a crash. A bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.
Dealers will reprogram the engine control module (ECM) software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed April 8, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti's customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25A8/A9 and R25B1/B2.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Altima and 2020-2021 Sentra vehicles. Damage to the camera harness can cause distortion or loss of the rearview camera display image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."
A rearview camera that does not properly display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will inspect the rearview camera and harness for damage and replace them as necessary. If no damage is found, the dealer will apply protective tape and reroute the rearview camera harness. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 19, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R23C3.

TiresMar 11, 2021
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Altima and 2018-2021 Titan vehicles equipped with Continental tires. On the affected vehicles, it is possible that one or more tires were cured for too long during tire production.
Over cured tires may develop a break in the sidewall, resulting in sudden air loss or belt edge separation which could lead to tread/belt loss. Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tires, and replace them as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 11, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PC798.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 Nissan Altima, Armada, Frontier, Kicks, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, NV, NV200, Pathfinder, Rogue, Rogue Sport, Sentra, Titan, Titan Diesel, Versa Note and Versa Sedan vehicles, as well as Infiniti Q50, Q60, QX30 and QX80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began November 11, 2019 and all affected VINs should be activated. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

Fuel system, gasoline, delivery, fuel pumpApr 18, 2019
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019 Altima vehicles equipped with front wheel drive (FWD) and 2.5 liter engines. The fuel pump lock ring may not be fully engaged, possibly causing fuel to leak. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 301, "Fuel System Integrity."
A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel tank assembly. If the lock ring is disengaged, dealers will tighten the ring to specification. If the lock ring is detached, dealers will replace the fuel pump. Both remedies will be completed free of charge. The recall began May 15, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchMar 25, 2019
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019 Nissan Altima vehicles. The brake switch bracket may be in the incorrect location, which may cause the brake switch to remain on.
If the brake switch remains in the ON position, the brake lights will remain illuminated when the brakes are not being pressed, which may confuse other drivers. Additionally, the transmission shift lever may be moved out of the Park position without the brake pedal being pressed, allowing the vehicle to roll unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install a new brake pedal as needed, free of charge. The recall began May 15, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

Nissan North America, Inc (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019 Altima vehicles. The retainer clip connecting the low pressure fuel tube to the high pressure fuel pump may not have been locked into position.
If the retainer clip is unlocked, the fuel tube may shift and cause a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire. If the fuel tube fully disconnects, the engine can stall, increasing the risk of a crash.
Nissan has notified owners, and dealers will route the fuel hose into the holding clip and lock the retainer clip into place, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 11, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

MY VEHICLE WAS IN MOTION ON A CITY STREET. I WENT TO MAKE A TURN BECAUSE OF A CURVE AND MY STEERING WHEEL AND BRAKE WOULD NOT WORK. MY EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM (WHICH IS SUPPOSE TO STOP MY VEHICLE BEFORE IMPACT, DID NOT DEPLOY. I RAN STRAIGHT INTO A STONE WALL AND FENCE. I RECEIVED A RECALL LETTER IN THE MAIL ABOUT THE BACK SENSOR, BUT MY SENSORS WERE WORKING UP UNTIL MY ACCIDENT. MY VEHICLE WAS DEEMED TOTALLED. IT WAS NOT RAINING, I WAS NOT SPEEDING, AND WHEN THE POLICE CAME OUT TO DO AN INVESTIGATION, THEY COULD ONLY DETERMINE THAT IT WAS A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. WHY DID THE SENSOR NOT WORK? WHY DIDN'T MY CARS EMERGENCY BRAKE SYSTEM NOT WORK? NOW I'M HAVING TO GET A NEW VEHICLE WITHOUT EVEN KNOWING WHY THE SAFETY SYSTEMS PUT IN PLACE DID NOT DEPLOY. THANK GOD MY SON WAS NOT IN THE CAR AND NO ONE ELSE WAS INJURED.
Service brakes, Dec 23, 2019
AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING SYSTEM HAS SERIOUS ISSUES THAT NISSAN KNOWS ABOUT BUT CAN'T FIX. WARNING LIGHTS ON DASH COME ON AT RANDOM TIMES, BOTH SOLIDLY OUT AND FLASHING, AND EVEN WORSE, AT TIMES WITH NO OTHER CARS ON THE HIGHWAY, THE VEHICLE DECIDES TO SLAM ON THE BRAKES. VERY DANGEROUS. ALL THE DEALER CAN SAY IS WE CHECKED THE CAR AND NO CODES WERE FOUND, YET THERE ARE MULTIPLE COMPLAINTS ABOUT THIS AND TWO CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS. SAME THING HAPPENS AT RANDOM TIMES WHEN BACKING OUT OF MY DRIVEWAY. DIFFERENT SYSTEM IN THE CAR BUT SAME RESULT - CAR BRAKES FOR NO REASON - NOTHING BEHIND ME, NO OBSTRUCTIONS. NOT QUITE AS SERIOUS AS THE FRONT EMERGENCY BRAKES NOT WORKING BUT STILL AN ISSUE. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES BUT I ENTERED TODAY'S DATE AS TODAY WAS THE LATEST OCCURRENCE.

BACK IN THE JULY I GOT INTO A REAR END COLLISION, THE EMERGENCY BRAKING SHOULD HAVE KICKED IN BUT IT DID NOT. SINCE THEN, THE EMERGENCY BRAKING HAS APPLIED MULTIPLE TIMES IN THE OPEN BY ITSELF WITH NO CARS AHEAD OR IN VIEW. IT MAKES ME VERY NERVOUS TO DRIVE THIS. IT HAS HAPPENED BOTH ON CITY STREETS AND THE HIGHWAY. I TRIED TELLING THE NISSAN DEALERSHIP AND THEY HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE AND ARE NOT WILLING TO WORK WITH ME FOR FAILURE AND DAMAGES.
Service brakes, Oct 1, 2019
I'VE HAD MY VEHICLE FOR 1 MONTH AND ON AT LEAST 10 DIFFERENT OCCASIONS MY AEB SYSTEM HAS LOCKED MY BRAKES UP ON ME FOR NO REASON. EACH TIME I'VE BEEN DRIVING STRAIGHT AND IT'S BEEN IN MY WORK PARKING GARAGE WHEN NO OTHER VEHICLES OR PEOPLE ARE IN MOTION AROUND ME. ALTHOUGH I'VE BEEN LUCKY SO FAR AND IT HASN'T CAUSED ME TO BE REAR ENDED I STILL SEE THE POTENTIAL FOR THAT HAPPENING IF THIS CONTINUES AND IS NOT FIXED.

AUTOMATIC EMERGENCY BRAKING (AEB) FUNCTION FAILED AT A RED LIGHT. AEB HAD BEEN SET IN A 3-VEHICLE DISTANCE. HOWEVER, UPON ARRIVING AT THE RED LIGHT, ON A CITY STREET, WITH ANOTHER VEHICLE IN FRONT OF US, NISSAN ALTIMA 2019 DIDN'T ACTUALLY RESPOND TO THE CONDITION AND KICK OFF ITS AEB SYSTEM TO 1) SLOW DOWN 2) STOP THE MOVING VEHICLE. THIS IS A DRIVING EXPERIENCE DATED ON JUNE 01 2019.

Vehicle speed control, Electronic stability control (ESC), Service brakes, Jul 27, 2019
ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING ARE DISABLED DUE TO "FRONT RADAR BLOCKED". THIS IS A BRAND NEW VEHICLE I HAVE HAD FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS (LESS THAN 1,000 MILES). AFTER DOING SOME INTERNET RESEARCH, THIS APPEARS TO BE A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN VEHICLES SINCE 2018. I BELIEVE MY VEHICLE WAS MANUFACTURED IN LATE 2018. THE ISSUE WAS FIRST NOTICED WHILE DRIVING WITH THE CRUISE CONTROL ENGAGED AND I KEPT GETTING CLOSER TO THE VEHICLE AHEAD OF ME WITHOUT MY VEHICLE AUTOMATICALLY SLOWING DOWN (I.E., THE CAR MAINTAINED THE CRUISE CONTROL SET SPEED.) AFTER MANUALLY BRAKING AND RESETTING THE CRUISE CONTROL, THE CRUISE CONTROL WOULD EVENTUALLY SHUT OFF AND THE ATTACHED MESSAGE WOULD BE DISPLAYED. PRIOR TO THE ISSUE BEING OBSERVED (APPROX. FIRST 500 MILES DRIVEN), THE ADAPTIVE CRUISE CONTROL AND AUTOMATIC BRAKING WORKED FINE.

I OWN A 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA AWD AND HAVE EXPERIENCED A FEW PROBLEMS. THE MOST SIGNIFICANT PROBLEM IS THE DEFECTIVE FORWARD COLLISION SAFETY FEATURE. TWO TIMES THE VEHICLE HAS IMPROPERLY AND ABRUPTLY APPLIED BRAKES, THE FEATURE IS INTENDED TO AVOID COLLISION, BUT INSTEAD ITS MALFUNCTION IS CREATING ROAD HAZARDS. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS AND THEY HAVE EVADED ME AND EVERYTIME I CALL THEY SAY YOU HAVE BEEN ASSIGNED A CASE AND SOMEONE WILL CALL YOU SOON. I ATTEMPTED TO SERVICE THE VEHICLE TWO TIMES THIS WEEK AT TWO DIFFERENT NISSAN DEALERSHIPS. ONE TURNED ME AWAY STATING IT'S A KNOWN PROBLEM AND NISSAN DOES NOT HAVE A FIX YET. THE SECOND NISSAN DEALERSHIP WAS IN THE PROCESS OF ISSUING ME AN ALTERNATE VEHICLE WHEN THEY RECEIVED A CALL FROM THE SAME FOLKS WHO WON'T RETURN MY CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS INSTRUCTING THE DEALER NOT PERFORM ANY SERVICE OR A LOANER. THIS IS SO OUTRAGEOUS, BUT I ACTUALLY HAVE IT IN WRITING TO PROVE THE LEVEL OF NEGLIGENCE AND ILL SERVICE TO FORCE A CUSTOMER TO STAY IN A VEHICLE THAT THEY DON'T FEEL SAFE IN. NONE THE LESS THEIR FAILURE TO DO THEIR DUE DILIGENCE. THE SAFETY FEATURE MALFUNCTIONED ON THE HIGHWAY ONCE AND THE NEXT TIME ON A INCLINE RAMP IN MALL PARKING GARAGE TO A FORCEFUL HARD STOP. I HAVE SPOKEN WITH 3 GENERAL MANAGERS AND 3 DIFFERENT CONSUMER AFFAIRS CALL CENTER REPS, BUT YET NO SERVICE OR CALL BACK FROM NISSAN NORTH AMERICA. NEGLIGENT NEGLIGENCE NEGLIGENT. NISSAN IS NOT WHAT IT USED TO BE. STAY FAR AWAY AND TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW TO STAY FAR AWAY. I AM THE OWNER OF A MODEL YEAR VEHICLE WITH FULL WARRANTY AND THIS IS HOW THEY ARE TREATING ME. WHAT WOULD YOU GET?

THE INTELLIGENT FORWARD COLLISION WARNING IS BROKEN WARNING LIGHTS COME ON AND SAY IT'S NOT WORKING DRIVING ON THE FREEWAY, WHEN YOU TURN OFF THE CAR IT RESETS BUT DRIVING AGAIN IT SHOWS THE WARNING LIGHTS AGAIN. ONLY 6000 MILES

MAY 1ST, 2019 I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE AT A RATE OF 70 MILES PER HOUR ON INTERSTATE 25 IN DENVER, COLORADO AND THE CAR COMPLETELY STALLED OUT. THE COMPUTER SCREEN INSTRUCTED ME TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK. IT TOOK ME APPROXIMATELY 3 MINUTES TO GET THE CAR TO START AGAIN VIA THE PUSH TO START BUTTON. THIS WAS OCCURRING IN THE MIDDLE OF THE INTERSTATE DURING HEAVY VOLUME OF TRAFFIC. DEALERSHIP CLAIMS IT WAS NOT NORMAL BUT COULD NOT TELL ME WHY. JUNE 26TH, 2019 THE VEHICLE AGAIN STALLED OUT WITHOUT WARNING WHILE I WAS TRAVELING APPROXIMATELY 45 MPH ON COLORADO BLVD. IN DENVER, CO. THE VEHICLE AGAIN PROMPTED ME VIA THE COMPUTER TO SHIFT THE CAR INTO PARK. I THEN SHIFTED AND PUSHED THE PUSH TO START BUTTON AND IT DID RESTART. BOTH INSTANCES THE CAR WAS IN MOTION AT HIGH SPEEDS, ONCE WAS HIGHWAY THE OTHER A BUSY STREET. I WAS GOING STRAIGHT BOTH TIMES. I WAS BREAKING SLIGHTLY BOTH TIMES. COMPLETELY UNSAFE VEHICLE.

WHEN USING THE WINDSHIELD WIPER FLUID IT BARELY SHOOTS OUT. IT ONLY COVER 1/4 OF THE WHOLE WINDSHIELD. THIS BECAME VERY DANGEROUS WHEN I WAS DRIVING BACK HOME IN THE HIGHWAY WHEN LOVEBUGS COVERED MY WINDSHIELD.

WHILE DRIVING ALONG A HIGHWAY IN THE MIDDLE LANE, MY FIANC HEARD A LOUD NOISE THAT SOUNDED LIKE A LOUD BANG. HE THOUGHT SOMETHING HAD FALLEN ON TOP OF THE SUNROOF BUT FOUND IT STRANGE BECAUSE THERE WAS NO TREES AROUND FOR THAT TO HAPPEN. WHEN HE STOPPED AND GOT OUT OF THE CAR, HE FOUND THAT THE ENTIRE WINDSHIELD HAD SHATTERED INTO LITTLE PIECES. LUCKILY HE WAS NOT INJURED AND NO GLASS CAME THROUGH THE CAR BECAUSE THE SHIELD WAS CLOSED. THERE WERE NO DENT OR IMPACT MARKS ON THE SUNROOF OR ANY PART OF THE CAR. WHEN WE HAD A MECHANIC LOOK AT IT, HE TOLD US THAT THE BREAK BAND FROM THE INSIDE AND WAS ALMOST 'PUSHED UP' IN A WAY. NISSAN HAD DENIED OUR CLAIM, AND PAYING THE DEDUCTIBLE AND GETTING IT FIXED, I STILL HEAR A RATTLING NOISE COMING FROM ABOVE.

Other or unspecified, May 10, 2019, crash
CAR ENGINE RUNNING PARKED IN DRIVEWAY. I WAS IN THE HOUSE. SON WAS ON PORCH. YELLED THAT CAR WAS MOVING. WHEN IT SAW THAT IT WAS BACKING UP I RAN TO TRY TO STOP IT. THE CAR BACKED DOWN MY DRIVEWAY, WHICH WAS FLAT WITH NO INCLINE, TO THE STREET, ACROSS THE STREET AND INTO THE NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE. THE STREET IS QUIET A BIT HIGHER THAN DRIVEWAY BUT IT SEEMED TO PICK UP SPEED WHEN IT WENT OVER IT. I REACHED IT RIGHT AS IT HIT THE NEIGHBORS HOUSE. I CALLED POLICE DEPT. VEHICLE WAS IN PARK THE ENTIRE TIME. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN DEALERSHIP BUT THEY COULD NOT FIND ANYTHING THAT WOULD HAVE CAUSED IT TO DO THAT. IF MY HANDICAP SON HAD BEEN GETTING IN VEHICLE WHEN THIS OCCURRED IT WOULD HAVE CAUSED HIM SERIOUS INJURY AND COULD HAVE CAUSED ANYONE THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN PASSING ON THE STREET OR IN THE NEIGHBORS YARD TO BE INJURED. NEIGHBOR IS AN OLDER MAN AND HE WAS QUITE SHAKEN UP. THE IMPACT SHOOK HIS HOUSE QUITE A BIT. I HAVE BEEN AFRAID TO DRIVE IT. WILL SUPPLY POLICE REPORT WHEN IT IS AVAILABLE FROM THE POLICE DEPT.

I BECAME AWARE OF THE AUTOMATIC WINDSHIELD WASHER PROBLEM WHEN I TRIED TO CLEAR OFF DUST AND GRIME FROM OUR NEW 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA WHILE DRIVING ON THE HIGHWAY. WHEN I ACTIVATED THE WASHERS TO CLEAN THE WINDSHIELD, THE WASHER FLUID BARELY SPLASHED ONTO THE BOTTOM OF THE WINDSHIELD. I HAD TO REPEATEDLY ACTIVATE THE SYSTEM TO EVEN GET THE WINDSHIELD PARTLY CLEAN. I WENT TO THE DEALERSHIP THE NEXT DAY TO GET THE PROBLEM FIXED. TO MY CHAGRIN, I WAS TOLD NO ONE ELSE HAD COMPLAINED ABOUT THIS PROBLEM AND THAT THE WASHERS OPERATE AS THEY WERE DESIGNED TO DO. BUT I WAS ALSO TOLD THAT THE PLACEMENT OF THE WINDSHIELD WASHER NOZZLES UNDER THE HOOD RESULTS IN THE FLUID STREAM HITTING THE UNDERSIDE OF THE HOOD FIRST AND THEN IT ONLY PARTLY HITS THE WINDSHIELD ABOUT 1/3 OF THE WAY UP ON THE WINDSHIELD. I CONSIDER THIS TO BE A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE AND AN INEPT DESIGN FLAW BECAUSE THE DEALERSHIP SAID THEY CANNOT ADJUST THE FLUID STREAM TO SHOOT UP ON THE WINDSHIELD THE WAY EVERY OTHER CAR IN THE WORLD DOES. I HAVE TO LIVE WITH A BARELY CLEANABLE WINDSHIELD BECAUSE SOME DESIGNER NEVER TRIED OUT THE WASHERS IN THE REAL WORLD. PLEASE LOOK INTO THIS SAFETY PROBLEM.
