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.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Nissan Pathfinder vehicles manufactured June 20, 2012, to November 18, 2013, 2014 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid vehicles manufactured July 18, 2013, to November 18, 2013, 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles manufactured November 29, 2011, to June 14, 2013, and 2014 QX60 vehicles manufactured May 16, 2013, to November 18, 2013, and 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid vehicles manufactured July 18, 2013, to November 18, 2013. 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.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 vehicles manufactured August 14, 2014, to November 5, 2014, and 2014-2015 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured August 12, 2014, to November 15, 2014. During the assembly process, the front wheel hub assembly fasteners may not have been properly torqued.
The under-torqued fasteners may result in a brake caliper separating from the wheel assembly causing a reduction in braking performance or reduced steering control. These conditions increase the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and tighten any loose bolts to the proper specification, free of charge. The recall began February 2, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Wheels, lugs/nuts/bolts/studsMay 2, 2014
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2014 Pathfinder and Rogue vehicles and 2014 Infiniti QX60 vehicles. The right side wheels of the affected vehicles may have one lug nut each that was not properly tightened.
If the lug nut becomes loose from not being properly tightened, it may fall off, allowing the other lug nuts to become loose, possibly resulting in a wheel separation, and increasing the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and tighten any loose lug nuts to the correct specification, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin by the end of June 2014. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

The transmission jerking/shuddering problem has been ongoing in the Nissan Pathfinder ever since a safety recall in 2014. Passenger airbag light is always on, even if an adult is seated there. The airbag warning light flashes on the dashboard. Nissan’s OCS system seems to be frequently complained about online. Dealers say it’s just wear and tear which is just unbelievable. Dealers quote repair / replacement cost for the frame and harness anywhere from $1200-$2900. I want to report this issue so that others with the same problem may come forward so a recall be issued.

The contact owns a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder. The contact stated while driving at various speeds and depressing the brake pedal, the vehicle failed to respond immediately. The contact stated that the failure recurred on a raining day, causing the vehicle to glide. The air bag, traction control, and the ABS warning lights were illuminated. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic, where the brakes were replaced. The contact stated that she also replaced the tires; however, the failure persisted.

MY PASSENGER SEAT STOPPED SENSING SOMEONE SITTING IN THE SEAT AND WOULDN'T TURN ON. THEN, A COUPLE DAYS LATER THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON FLASHING. I WAS NOT IN ANY KIND OF ACCIDENT WHATSOEVER NOR WAS THERE A REASON FOR THIS TO HAPPEN. MEDFORD NISSAN TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT REPAIR IT THAT I HAD TO PAY 120.00 JUST FOR THEM TO DETECT WHAT WAS WRONG. THEN THEY WANTED ME TO PAY TO FIX IT. I DID NOTHING THAT WOULD CAUSE THIS TO HAPPEN. SCROLLING THROUGH AIRBAG COMPLAINTS FROM THE 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDERS IT LOOKS LIKE THIS IS A COMMON ISSUE.

2014 PATHFINDER SV HYBRID 4WD PASSEGER AIRBAG SENSOR FRAME AND WIRING NEEDS TO BE REPLACED. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS ALWAYS DEACTIVATED, EVEN IF AN ADULT PASSENGER IS SEATED IN IT, THERE IS ALSO AN AIRBAG WARNING LIGHT THAT FLASHES ON THE DASHBOARD. NISSAN'S OCS SYSTEM SEEMS TO BE FREQUENTLY COMPLAINED ABOUT ONLINE. THE DEALER SAYS THAT THIS IS JUST WEAR AND TEAR, WHICH I DON'T REALLY UNDERSTAND HOW A FRAME AND HARNESS FOR THE OCS (WHICH THEY SAY NEEDS TO BE REPLACED FOR $1200) COULD BE A WEAR AND TEAR ISSUE. I JUST WANTED TO REPORT THIS ISSUE IN CASE THERE HAVE BEEN OTHERS WHO HAVE HAD THE SAME PROBLEM, AS THERE SEEMS TO HAVE ALREADY BEEN MANY RECALLS FOR THE AIRBAG SYSTEM IN THIS CAR.

BOUGHT CAR A YEAR AGO, EVERYTHING FINE. THEN ALL OF A SUDDEN THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG STOPPED WORKING OR STOPPED DETECTING ANYONE SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. AN APPARENT KNOWN ISSUE FOR NISSAN FROM 2013-2017. I WAS DRIVING WHILE I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT AND NOTICED THE AIRBAG WAS TURNED OFF. AND LIGHT WAS FLASHING. THE PERSON WAS OVER THE WEIGHT LIMIT THAT TURNS IT OFF. I TRIED REACHING OUT TO NISSAN AND THEY STATED IT'S ONLY VIN SPECIFIC BUT YET IT'S A KNOWN ISSUE FOR THIS YEAR AND MODEL AS WELL AS MANY OTHERS.

ON 7/19/19, MY CAR WAS SERVICED FOR BROKEN PASSENGER AIRBAG SENSOR DUE TO TECHNICIAN FINDING WATER BOTTLE UNDERNEATH THE PASSENGER SIDE SEAT. PAID $638 FOR THE REPLACEMENT. LESSON LEARNED, NO WATER BOTTLES ALLOWED IN CAR. LESS THAN 2 MONTHS LATER, ON 9/12/19, THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHTS GO ON AGAIN!! BROUGHT CAR TO SERVICE ON 9/19 AND TECHNICIAN FINDS CLIP TO SENSOR SNAPPED. NO WATER BOTTLE, NO KNOWN REASON WHY THE SENSOR IS BROKEN. HAD TO PAY ANOTHER $189 TO REPLACE IT AGAIN!! I'M TIRE OF THIS PATTERN IF YOU JUST SIT IN THE PASSENGER SEAT, OR BREATHE THERE, THE SENSOR WILL BREAK!! NISSAN HAS DONE A HORRIBLE JOB AT DESIGNING A PROTECTIVE AREA AROUND THE AIRBAG SENSOR!! I CONTACTED CONSUMER SERVICES AT NISSAN AND THEY JUST TOLD ME THEY WILL REVIEW THE CASE AND IT IS NOT THEIR FAULT AFTER MY CAR IS NO LONGER UNDER WARRANTY. I AM FURIOUS AND EVEN MORE CONCERNED THAT THERE WILL BE MORE SENSOR FAILURES AND AIRBAG MALFUNCTIONS IN THE NEAR FUTURE!! I FEEL NISSAN'S POOR QUALITY IS DISRUPTING MY FAMILY LIFE AND MY WORK. I CAN'T KEEP GOING BACK TO GET THIS SERVICE REPEATEDLY!! THERE SHOULD BE AN INVESTIGATION & RECALL FOR THIS ISSUE ASAP!!

I STARTED SEEING THE AIRBAG INDICATOR FLASHING ON MY DASHBOARD. I TOOK IT TO NISSAN CAR DEALER. THEY TOLD ME THAT THERE WAS A WATER BOTTLE THAT ROLLED UNDER THE PASSENGER SEAT AND CAUSED THE SENSOR TO BREAK. I BELIEVE THAT IS A BAD DESIGN FROM NISSAN, THAT ALLOWS A CRITICAL SENSOR TO BREAK EASILY BY A SOFT WATER BOTTLE THAT ROLLED UNDER THE SEAT, CAUSE THE AIRBAG NOT TO DEPLOY, WHICH CAN CAUSE SERIOUS INJURIES TO ME OR A FAMILY MEMBER SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THERE IS A RECALL ALREADY RELATED TO THAT SENSOR, THAT CAN CAUSE THE AIRBAG NOT TO DEPLOY, BUT I THINK PROTECTING THE SENSOR UNDER THE SEAT IS A VERY SERIOUS ISSUE, THAT NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED. I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR SOMETIME BEFORE NOTICING THAT THERE MIGHT BE AN AIRBAG ISSUE.
