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.

THE BOLT AND ARM THAT OPEN THE REAR LIFTGATE ON MY 2013 PATHFINDER RUSTED FROM THE INSIDE OUT. ONLY WARNING SIGN WAS ONCE LIFTED, IT AUTOMATICALLY CLOSED. THIS HAPPENED 5 TIMES. THE PISTON SNAPPED AND BROKE AWAY AND BLOCKED THE LIFT GATE FROM CLOSING. SECURING THE LIFT WAS CHALLENGING! ONLY WAY TO OPEN IS MANUALLY LIFTING IT AND HOLDING AND PROPPING IT OPEN. I CONTACTED THE DEALERSHIP ABOUT GETTING IT FIXED OR CHANGING FROM POWER TO A MANUAL LIFT. I NEED TO REPLACE BOTH SHOCKS AS WELL AS THE OPERATING SYSTEM EST $1400 BEFORE LABOR. OBVIOUSLY THERE IS AN ISSUE SINCE NISSAN HAS COMPLETELY CHANGED HOW THE DOOR OPENS AND CLOSES! NISSAN ISSUED A RECALL ON THE ROGUE FOR THAT SAME ISSUE WITH THE TAILGATE. . . . . I'M SURE THE PISTONS FROM THE ROGUE THAT WERE RECALLED ARE INCREDIBLY SIMILAR TO THE ONES IN THE PATHFINDER. WITH COVID AND CURBSIDE PICKUP, FOLKS HAVE TO PUT ITEMS IN VIA THE WINDOWS - VERY CHALLENGING. *TR

I TOOK IT TO THE SAME DEALERSHIP AND I WAS TOLD THAT IT WAS THE TRANSMISSION AGAIN AND NOW THEY ARE SAYING IT HAS TO BE REPLACED SINCE NISSAN HAVE HAD SO MANY COMPLAINTS FOR THE SAME REASON BECAUSE THEY NEVER NOTIFIED THE COSTUMERS ABOUT THIS ISSUES IN THESE SUVS. BUT NOW NISSAN WANTS TO CHARGED ME $4000 FOR THE TRANSMISSION BECAUSE I'M OVER THE 100,000 MILES. BUT WHEN I TOOK THE VEHICLE THE FIRST TIME IT WAS UNDER THE WARRANTY THEY KNEW ALREADY, BY THEN, THE PROBLEM WITH THE TRANSMISSIONS AND THAT WAS THE PERFECT TIME FOR THEM TO REPLACED IT INSTEAD OF FIXING IT.

BOTH SUN VISORS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AND PASSENGER SIDE WILL NOT GO UP AND HANG DOWN DUE TO A DEFECT. THIS BLOCKS THE VISIBILITY OF THE ROAD AND POSES A SAFETY HAZARD AS IF YOU WERE IN AN ACCIDENT THE PERSON WOULD GET INJURED BY THE VISOR HANGING DOWN. THIS PROBLEM HAS BEEN MENTIONED ONLINE BY MANY NISSAN OWNERS AND NISSAN REFUSES TO COVER. I RECEIVED AN ESTIMATE OF $430.84 TO GET THEM REPLACED. WHEN I NOTICED THAT MY VISORS WERE LIKE THIS WAS WHEN. I PICKED MY CAR UP FROM THE NISSAN GARAGE AS THEY WERE FIXING A MECHANICAL PROBLEM. I TRIED TO PUSH UP AND THEY WOULD JUST FALL DOWN AGAIN. NOTHING I DID TO CAUSE THIS.
