Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchJan 20, 2021
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2015 Nissan Pathfinder vehicles. The location of the brake light switch may cause the brake light switch relay to repeatedly open and close. Overtime, this can cause the relay to stick in the "ON" position, with the brake lights remaining illuminated even when the brakes are not applied. Additionally, this may interfere with the brake-shift interlock, allowing the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "Park" position, without depressing the brake pedal.
Continual illumination of the brake lights can prevent other drivers from realizing the vehicle is actually slowing down, increasing the risk of a crash. With the brake override activated, the driver will not be able to accelerate normally, increasing the risk of a crash. The driver can shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and, as necessary, either re-install the brake light switch or swap positions with the Automatic Speed Control Device (ASCD) switch; depending on the model year vehicle. In addition, the brake light relay will be replaced with a new one. All repairs will be performed free of charge. The recall began March 1, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall PC786. Note: this recall supersedes 16V-380.

Exterior lighting, brake lights, switchMay 31, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Pathfinder vehicles manufactured June 20, 2012, to June 13, 2013. The brake light switch may have been installed incorrectly causing the relay to make intermittent contact and repeatedly cycle. This may result in the relay remaining in the "ON" position, causing the brake lights to remain illuminated even when the brakes are not applied. Additionally, the brake light switch may interfere with the brake-shift interlock, allowing the driver to shift the vehicle out of the "Park" position, without depressing the brake pedal.
If the brake override is activated, the driver will not be accelerate normally, increasing the risk of a crash. If the brake lights remain illuminated, other drivers may fail to stop when the vehicle actually brakes, increasing the risk of a crash. If the driver inadvertently shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, the vehicle may rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the brake light switch and, as necessary, replace the relay, free of charge. The recall began on July 25, 2016. 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.

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 the hood release cable assembly may have been installed incorrectly preventing the latching claw from fully engaging. The secondary latch may remain in the open position when the hood is closed.
If the primary hood latch is released and the secondary latch fails during operation of the vehicle, it could cause the hood to open during vehicle operation impairing the driver's vision, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will modify the angle of the hood release mechanism to provide additional length to the release cable, free of charge. The recall began on March 9, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Sensors within the passenger Occupant Detection System (ODS) may have been manufactured out of specification. This may cause the system to malfunction and permanently suppress the passenger airbag.

WHILE DRIVING ON SEPTEMBER 219TH, 2016, THE AIRBAG INDICATOR LIGHT STARTED FLASHING FOR UNDER A MINUTE, AND THEN THE ENTIRE DASHBOARD CLUSTER PANEL WENT OUT. THE TACHOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, GAS GAUGE, DRIVER SAFETY INFORMATION, LIGHTING AND BREAKS , GEAR MODE, SEAT BELT INDICATOR, ENGINE TEMPERATURE GAUGE ALL WENT BLANK AS THE CAR WAS DRIVING STRAIGHT DOWN A STREET APPROXIMATELY 45 MILES AN HOUR. I PULLED THE CAR OFF OF THE ROAD TO A SAFE PLACE. SHUT IT DOWN, AND STARTED IT AGAIN NORMALLY. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS YET TO COME BACK ON. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE SUV HOME, AND CALLED SOME LOCAL DEALERSHIPS TO GET IT IN TO SERVICE. WHILE WAITING FOR A CALL BACK, I WAS ABLE TO RESEARCH, AND FOUND THAT THE VEHICLE IS UNDER TWO RECALLS, 16V-244 FOR OCCS SYSTEM, AND 16V-380 FOR STOP LAMP SWITCH.. I WAS ABLE TO GET THE CAR TO ROYAL NISSAN IN BATON ROUGE, LOUISIANA (225) 924-0400 ON THE 20TH OF SEPTEMBER, 2016. I INFORMED THEM OF THE RECALLS, AND THEY SAID THAT THEY WOULD LOOK INTO THE MATER. ON THE SEPTEMBER 21TH, SERVICE ADVISOR (KENNEY) CALLED ME AND SAID THAT THEY DID NOT YET KNOW HOW TO FIX THE PROBLEM, BUT THE CAR WAS THREE YEARS OLD, AND OUT OF WARRANTY AND I WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR THE REPAIRS MYSELF BECAUSE THEY WERE PROBABLY NOT RELATED TO THE RECALLS. THAT IS WHERE IT STANDS.AS OF SEPTEMBER 21ST, 2016. I DO NOT THINK THAT I AM BEING UNREASONABLE WHEN I THINK THAT THERE IS A CONNECTION TO THE FLASHING INDICATOR LIGHTS, AND THE DASHBOARD GOING OUT AT THE SAME TIME.

I GOT A RECALL NOTIFICATION. I HAVE CALLED NISSAN TO HAVE THEM FIX THIS 3 TIMES AND THEY TELL ME THEY DON'T HAVE THE PART.

NOW EVERYTIME I GET OUT OF THE VEHICLE THE LIGHT WILL ILLUMINATE SAYING AIRBAG OFF AND WHEN I SIT IN THE SEAT AND THE DRIVER STARTS TO DRIVE IT WILL STAY ILLUMINATED FOR ABOUT 20-25 MINUTES AT ANY SPEED FROM LOCAL TO HIGHWAY.
