Latches/locks/linkages, hood, latchJun 13, 2022
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2016 Pathfinder vehicles. On certain Pathfinder vehicles, the secondary hood latch may malfunction and remain in the unlatched, unsecured, position when the hood is closed.
An unsecured hood could unexpectedly open while driving, obstructing the driver's view, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the bell crank assembly, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed March 26, 2025. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall are R22A2 R22A3 and R24B7.

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.

Service brakesApr 12, 2013
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2013 Pathfinder and Infiniti JX vehicles manufactured December 3, 2012, through January 29, 2013. The front brake torque member was improperly cast resulting in structural weakness. This can lead to premature failure and cracking.

TL* THE CONTACT OWNS A 2013 NISSAN PATHFINDER. WHILE DRIVING APPROXIMATELY 50 MPH, THE VEHICLE VIBRATED, DECELERATED, AND MOMENTARILY ACCELERATED. THERE WERE NO WARNING INDICATORS. THE CONTACT COASTED THE VEHICLE TO THE SIDE OF THE ROAD AND CALLED A LOCAL DEALER WHO ADVISED HER TO DRIVE THE VEHICLE TO THE SHOP. THE FOLLOWING DAY, THE FAILURE RECURRED. THE TECHNICIAN KEPT THE VEHICLE FOR A COUPLE OF DAYS, BUT WAS UNABLE TO DUPLICATE THE FAILURE. THE MANUFACTURER WAS MADE AWARE OF THE FAILURE, BUT STATED THAT NOTHING COULD BE DONE. THE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 59,000. THE VIN WAS NOT PROVIDED.

MY 2013 PATHFINDER STUDDERS LIKE IT'S NOT GETTING GAS. IT HAS COMPLETELY STALLED WHILE DRIVING IN BUSY TRAFFIC. I TOOK IT TO THE DEALERSHIP WHICH STATED THEY COULD NOT GET IT TO DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS CAN HAPPEN ON INCLINES AND WHEN I GOT TO STOP OR SLOW DOWN THEN GO TO ACCELERATE AGAINST IT STUDDERS REALLY BAD. IT SOMETIMES WILL NOT START DUE TO NOT RECOGNIZING THE KEY FOB.

I JUST PURCHASED MY VEHICLE LAST WEEK. WHEN I BOUGHT THE VEHICLE THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON AND EVEN WHEN SOMEONE WAS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STILL ON STATING THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS TURNED OFF. I WAS ADVISED THERE IS A RECALL OUT FOR THIS ISSUE. THIS SITUATION SEEMS SIMILAR TO A COUPLE OTHER RECALLS ON THE 2013 PATHFINDERS. I'M UNSURE IF THE REPAIRS WERE DONE BEFORE I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE BUT IF THEY WERE THE ISSUE STILL REMAINS. SINCE THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS FROM MY VEHICLE. EITHER MY VEHICLE WASN'T INCLUDED IN THE RECALLS OR THE REPAIRS WERE ATTEMPTED BUT THE PROBLEM REMAINS. I JUST WANT THE VEHICLE TO BE SAFE FOR ME AND MY FAMILY.
Air bags, Mar 4, 2016
OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM IS INCORRECTLY SAYING THAT THE PASSENGER SEAT IS EMPTY, WHEN IN FACT OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT. NISSAN IS SAYING THAT BASED ON MY VIN# MY VEHICLE IS NOT PART OF THE CURRENT RECALL FOR THIS SAME PROBLEM. THIS MAY LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY AND/OR DEATH OF A PASSENGER IF INVOLVED IN AN ACCIDENT.
Power train, Feb 22, 2016
MY PATHFINDER STALLS AND WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHEN I COME TO A COMPLETE STOP ON AN ELEVATED SURFACE. WE JUST BOUGHT OUR 2013 PATHFINDER (53.5K MILES) LESS THAN 2 WEEKS AGO. IT IS CERTIFIED PRE OWNED AND UNDER POWERTRAIN WARRANTY 7 YEARS/ 100K MILES. WHEN I TOOK THE ISSUE TO THE DEALERSHIP, LAST WEEK, I WAS TOLD THAT THE CAR DID NOT THROW A COMPUTER CODE AND WHEN THEY TEST DROVE MY CAR THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY ISSUES. THEY DID HOWEVER TELL ME THAT WHEN THEY TRIED TO PARALLEL PARK IT ON A HILL, IT ACCELERATED AS SOON AS THEY PUT IT IN DRIVE, TO WHICH I EXPLAINED I NEVER PUT MY PATHFINDER IN PARK, I ONLY CAME TO A COMPLETE STOP, ON A HILL AND IT WOULD NOT ACCELERATE. THIS IS TERRIFYING CONSIDERING MY 6 MONTH OLD BABY HAS BEEN IN THE BACKSEAT WHEN THIS HAS HAPPENED ON MULTIPLE OCCASIONS IN LESS THAN 2 WEEKS.

VEHICLE STALLS AT VARIOUS TIMES WHILE DRIVING, WILL NOT ACCELERATE WHILE PRESSING ON GAS PEDAL. HAS NOW HAPPENED 6 TIMES IN 3 MONTHS. STALLED ALSO, WHILE ON CRUISE CONTROL GOING DOWNHILL AND WOULD NOT ENGAGE UNTIL ON LEVEL SURFACE FOR 15 SECONDS, LOST 35 MPH DURING THIS INCIDENT. PASSENGER SIDE FRONT AIRBAG LIGHT IS ILLUMINATED INDICATING THAT NO ONE IS IN SEAT WHILE SEAT IS OCCUPIED. I HAVE SEVERAL PHOTOS AND DATES OF THIS PARTICULAR PROBLEM.

PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT WHILE STOPPED. WHEN PRESSING ACCELERATOR PEDAL WHILE IN DRIVE ENGINE DOES NOT RESPOND. ENGINE RPM WILL GO UP ONCE SHIFTED TO NEUTRAL, BUT NOT WHILE IN DRIVE. DOES NOT PRODUCE ERROR CODES, SO NO ONE KNOWS HOW TO FIX. I HAVE FOUND A LOT OF OTHER COMPLAINTS OF THE SAME SITUATION ONLINE, NISSAN HAS NOT ACKNOWLEDGED THIS AS A PROBLEM AS FAR AS I KNOW.

I HAVE A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT STAYING ON WHEN SOMEONE IS IN THE SEAT. I HAVE TAKEN THE CAR TO THE DEALER FIVE TIMES SINCE I HAVE OWNED IT. EVEN AFTER THE MANDATORY RECALLS THE PROBLEM SPORADICALLY STILL EXISTS. SOMETIMES THE LIGHT STAYS ON BRIEFLY AND OTHER TIMES IT STAYS ON UP TO THIRTY MINUTES. I NEVER GET A GOOD EXPLANATION BY THE SERVICE DEPARTMENT OTHER THAN WE CHECKED OR ADJUSTED THE SENSOR. AFTER THREE YEARS I THINK IT IS TIME NISSAN STEPS UP AND FIXES THE PROBLEM PROPERLY. IT APPEARS THE DEALERSHIPS CANNOT DO ANYTHING WITHOUT THE COOPERATION OF NISSAN CORPORATE OR GOVERNMENT ACTION. IT DOES NO GOOD COMPLAINING TO THE SERVICE PERSONNEL. I FEEL THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE THAT NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED AGAIN.

MY NEW 2013 PATHFINDER CAME WITH THE TIRE TOYO PROXES A20. THIS OPTION IS NOT AVAILABLE ON THE DROP-DOWN SELECTIONS. EXCESSIVE TIRE WEAR ON TOYO PROXES A20 TIRES. . AT 23,000 MILES TIRES ARE IN NEED OF REPLACING.( I ONLY USE THIS VECHILE TO TAKE MY SON TO SCHOOL AND AROUND TOWN, I AM UNDER 1,000 MILES A MONTH) I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN WITH NISSAN ABELOFF DEALERSHIP, NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIR AND TOYO THE TIRE COMPANY. I HAD A CASE OPENED WITH NISSAN CONUMER WHICH THEY TOLD ME THAT THE DEALERSHIP WOULD HAVE TO MEASURE THE TIRE DEPTH AND THEN THEY COULD HELP ME WITH REPLACEMENT COST. (OF COURSE THIS WAS ALL VERBAL ON THE PHONE). UNFORTUNATELY THE DEALERSHIP HAD A DIFFERENT READING VS MY READINGS. LUCKILY I KEPT MY MULTI INSPECTION PAPERWORKS AS BACKUP AND TOLD THEM THAT THERE GADGET IS BROKEN BEACAUSE IT KINDA WEIRD FOR THEARDS TO BE LIKE A ROLLER COASTER. MY LATEST READING ON THE TREADS IS 2/32 AND 3/32 WHICH A BRAND NEW GADGET WAS USED. AFTER THE DEALERSHIP CONFIRMED THIS CORRECTED READING. THEY INFORMED NISSAN AND NOW THEY COME BACK TO ME, THEY CAN NOT DO ANYTHING EVEN THOUGH PREVIOUS CASE THEY SAID THEY WILL BE GLAD TO HELP OUT. THIS IS CONSIDERED A SAFETY HAZARD AND I DO NOT THING A TIRE SHOULD BE WEARED OUT SO EARLY WHEN OTHERS LAST FROM ANY WHERE 40,000 TO 50,000 MILES. THESE TOYO PROXES A20 ARE DEFECTED AND I SEARCHED ONLINE ON AND HAVE FOUND SIMILAR STORIES FOR THIS TIRE ON THE NISSAN SUV'S AND OTHER SUV BRANDS. THESE TIRES NEED TO BE RECALLED AS DEFECTED WEAR AND TEAR BEFORE AND ACCIDENT HAPPENS AND LIFE'S LOST.
