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.

Structure, body, hood, hinge and attachmentsJan 26, 2015
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.

Air bags, frontalSep 26, 2013
Nissan North America Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014 Pathfinders manufactured from July 25, 2013, to September 5, 2013 with Almond interiors only. The instrument panel tear seam on the passenger frontal air bag was incorrectly cut on the back side of the instrument panel which could cause the air bag to not deploy properly.

Air bags, Jun 17, 2016, crash
WE HAD A NEW 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER THAT WAS LESS THAN A YEAR OLD. WE WERE HIT FROM BEHIND INTO ANOTHER CAR. IT WAS ENOUGH IMPACT TO TOTAL A NEW CAR. THE SIDE AIRBAGS DEPLOYED WHEN THE IMPACT WAS FRONT/BACK. NEITHER THE DRIVER OR THE PASSENGER AIRBAGS DEPLOYED. I HAD A LOT OF BRUISING FROM THE SEAT BELT & MY HUSBAND HAD A HEAD RELATED INJURY LIKE A CONCUSSION DUE TO THE IMPACT AS WELL AS US BOTH HAVING BACK PAIN ISSUES. I FEEL THAT IF I HADN'T BEEN WEARING MY SEAT BELT SEEING HOW BADLY I WAS BRUISED & A KNOT IN MY BREAST FROM THE IMPACT THAT I WOULD HAVE DEFINITELY HIT THE WINDSHIELD OR WORSE. I WAS IN A MUCH LESS SEVERE ACCIDENT WHEN I WAS A CHILD & HIT MY HEAD ON THE WINDSHIELD. THAT IS WHY I FEEL VERY STRONGLY THAT IF I HADN'T BEEN WEARING MY SEAT BELT, IT FAILED,ETC THAT I WOULD HAVE HIT THE WINDSHIELD. I HAVE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE UNFORTUNATELY BEFORE I REALIZED HOW IMPORTANT SEAT BELTS WERE. WE ALWAYS WONDERED WHY THE FRONT AIRBAGS (BOTH PASSENGER AND DRIVER) DIDN'T DEPLOY CONSIDERING THE IMPACT WAS FROM THE REAR AND FRONT. NOW THAT THERE IS A RECALL, IT MAKES PERFECT SENSE. THE SIDE PASSENGER AIRBAGS DID DEPLOY, BUT NOT THE FRONT PASSENGER... OR DRIVER FOR THAT MATTER. WE WERE COMPLETELY STOPPED IN A TUNNEL DUE TO A QUICK TRAFFIC PROBLEM WHEN THE CAR BEHIND US HIT US. THE IMPACT WAS HARD ENOUGH TO PUSH US INTO THE STOPPED CAR IN FRONT OF US. THEY HAD TO CLOSE THE TUNNEL DOWN TO TOW OUR CAR AS WELL AS THE CAR BEHIND US OUT OF THE TUNNEL. 2 OF 3 CARS WERE NOT DRIVE-ABLE AND OUR CAR WAS TOTALED. I AM SURE THE CAR BEHIND US WAS TOTALED ALSO. WE ENDED UP GETTING A 2015 NISSAN PATHFINDER - BECAUSE WE THOUGHT IT WAS ONE OF THE SAFEST OPTIONS - & NOW THERE IS A RECALL ON THOSE AIRBAGS BUT THE PARTS AREN'T AVAILABLE. SO THIS IS VERY CONCERNING... PHOTOS ATTACHED ARE OF THE SIDE AIRBAGS THAT DEPLOYED. AT LEAST 2 INJURIES +.

THE COMPUTER IN MY 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER CONTINUED TO PRESENT DIFFICULTIES. THESE MALFUNCTIONS WERE DOCUMENTED WITH NISSAN AND THE COMPUTER WAS IN FACT REPLACED. WE WERE IN NEGOTIATIONS WITH NISSAN TO WARRANTY THE COMPUTER WITH THE POWERTRAIN WARRANTY. ON APRIL 1, 2016 MY WIFE STARTED THE VEHICLE IN THE DRIVEWAY AND WENT INSIDE TO LET IT WARM UP. WHEN SHE WENT OUT (APPROXIMATELY 10 MINUTES LATER) THE VEHICLE WAS GONE. IT HAD SLIPPED INTO DRIVE ON ITS OWN AND GONE STRAIGHT DOWN INTO THE WOODS, TAKING OUT TWO TREES AND HITTING A TELEPHONE POLE AT THE BOTTOM OF THE HILL. THE AIRBAGS DID NOT DEPLOY. NISSAN'S FINDING WERE THAT THE BLACK BOX WITHIN THE VEHICLE DID NOT SHOW ANYTHING AND, THEREFORE, THEY WERE NOT TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR IT. WE HAVE ALL THE DOCUMENTATION FOR THE DIFFICULTIES WITH THE VEHICLE LEADING UP THE COLLISION.

PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG TURNS OFF WITH ADULT SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT. THE MALFUNCTION OCCURS WHEN SITTING STILL OR IN MOTION. THE VEHICLE HAS BEEN TO THE DEALERSHIP 6 TIMES FOR THE ISSUE. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF THE RECALL WAS THE FIRST ATTEMPT TO FIX THE PROBLEM. THREE ATTEMPTS LATER NISSAN DIRECTED THE DEALERSHIP TO REPLACE ALL COMPONENTS FOR THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG AND THE PROBLEM IS NOT FIXED. OF NOTE, THE DEALERSHIP IS VERY COURTEOUS, PROVIDES ME WITH A LOANER VEHICLE EACH TIME, BUT ACTS LIKE MY CAR IS THE ONLY NISSAN TO EVER HAVE THIS PROBLEM. 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER PLATINUM 4WD 30,000 MILES

ONGOING ISSUE WITH FRONT PASSENGER OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION SYSTEM. "AIRBAG OFF" OCCASIONALLY LIGHTS UP (BEFORE MOVING AND WHILE MOVING) INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS OFF EVEN THOUGH THE PASSENGER SEAT IS OCCUPIED WITH SEAT BELT ON.

CONTRARY TO THE DEALERS FINDING, THE OCS LIGHT STILL COMES ON AT LEAST ONCE A WEEK. DATE AND TIMES ARE BEING RECORDED. THIS WILL BECOME A VERY UNSAFE SITUATION IN THE EVENT I DO NOT NOTICE THAT THE LIGHT IS ON AND AN ACCIDENT WERE TO OCCUR. AN OUTSIDE SOURCE HAS TOLD ME THAT THIS IS A SOFTWARE ISSUE BECAUSE IF I TURN THE CAR OFF WHEN THE LIGHT IS ON, THE LIGHT WILL GO OFF. NISSAN HAS NO IDEA HOW TO FIX THIS PROBLEM.

THE AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT CONSISTENTLY ACKNOWLEDGE THERE IS A PASSENGER SITTING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT. THERE HAS BEEN A PREVIOUS RECALL (14V138000) FOR THIS EXACT ISSUE BUT DOESN'T INCLUDE MY VIN. MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP (PEORIA NISSAN) REFUSED TO DO ANYTHING TO THE CAR SINCE IT WASN'T IMPACTED BY THE RECALL. THEY TOLD ME TO CONTACT NISSAN CORPORATE. I CONTACTED NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS (CASE # 20615944) AND THEY TOLD ME THE REASON THE AIRBAG SENSOR DOESN'T RECOGNIZE A PASSENGER IS BECAUSE MY WIFE WEIGHS 120 LBS. THE VEHICLE ISN'T DESIGNED TO PICK UP AN INDIVIDUAL OF THAT STATURE 100% OF THE TIME. I BELIEVE THIS IS COMPLETELY RIDICULOUS AND THEY JUST DON'T WANT TO EXPAND THEIR PREVIOUS RECALL. I'M IN FEAR FOR THE SAFETY OF MY WIFE WHO ROUTINELY SITS IN THAT SEAT AND ISN'T RECOGNIZED BY THE AIRBAG. THIS HAPPENS BOTH AFTER STARTING THE VEHICLE OR WHILE DRIVING DOWN THE ROAD (AIRBAG LIGHT RANDOMLY COMES ON IDENTIFYING NOT IN USE).

THE "PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT OFF" IS ILLUMINATED EVEN THOUGH AN ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN MORE FREQUENTLY WHEN THE OCCUPANCY IS CHANGED WHILE THE VEHICLE IS RUNNING. THE VEHICLE WILL HAVE TO BE TURNED OFF, THEN RESTARTED TO CLEAR THIS CONDITION. THIS SEEMS TO HAPPEN LESS FREQUENTLY IF THE ADULT IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BEFORE THE VEHICLE IS STARTED. THIS HAS HAPPENED MULTIPLE TIMES SINCE OUR PURCHASE. WE HAVE HAD TO THE DEALER MULTIPLE TIMES FOR THIS ISSUE. THEY CAN'T EVER SEEM TO DUPLICATE IT WHILE THEY HAVE THE VEHICLE.

PURCHASED PRE OWNED 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDER SL 4X4 WIT 30,000 MILES FROM SERRA VISSER CULLMAN, AL NISSAN DEALER IN MAY 2015. SHORTLY AFTER PURCHASE NOTICED PASSENGER AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD MALFUNCTION (MEANING SHOWING THAT IT WAS OFF) WHEN SOMEONE WAS SITTING IN PASSENGER SEAT. EVEN WHEN NO ONE WAS SITTING IN SEAT IT WOULD SHOW AIR AG WAS ACTIVE WHEN IT SHOULD BE TURNED OFF. TOOK TO SAME SERVICE DEPT. I BOUGHT VEHICLE FROM. THEY RAN DIAGNOSTICS AND SAID VEHICLE WAS FUNCTIONING AS IT SHOULD AND TO BASICALLY IGNORE LIGHT. I WAS TOLD "TRUST ME YOUR AIR BAG WILL ACTIVATE". NOW VEHICLE HAS 37,100 MILES AND STARTING TO NOTICE THE CVT TRANSMISSION WILL SHUDDER/JUDDER AT CERTAIN SPEEDS. TAKE FOR INSTANCE YESTERDAY BETWEEN 20-25 MPH THE VEHICLE JUST STARTED TO JERK SIGNIFICANTLY. TOOK TO SERRA VISSER NISSAN IN CULLMAN AND THEY SAID THAT THERE WAS A TECHNICAL SERVICE BULLETIN OUT ON THE PROBLEM AND THAT IT NEEDS REPROGRAMMED. THE COST WAS 105 AT MY EXPENSE. I DECLINED BECAUSE THIS SHOULD FALL UNDER THE POWER TRAIN WARRANTY AND PROCEEDED TO CALL NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS HOTLINE TO OPEN CASE ABOUT ISSUES. I HAVE RESEARCHED ONLINE AND HAVE READ HUNDREDS OF COMPLAINTS ABOUT THE SAME EXACT PROBLEMS. IT SEEMS THAT NONE OF THE REPROGRAMMING, REPLACING TRANSMISSIONS, TORQUE CONVERTERS EVEN SOLVES THE PROBLEM. IVE EVEN READ WHERE IT IS A DESIGN FLAW IN TRANSMISSION. I'M HOPING THEY PUT A RECALL OUT FOR THESE ISSUES OR BY BACK VEHICLES. I DONT FEEL SAFE IN IT AND CERTAINLY DONT BELIEVE OWNERS SHOULD PAY TO HAVE ANY OF THESE ISSUES RESOLVED.

THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS STAYING ON IN MY CAR, I TOOK IT TO RAY SHULTENS AND THEY PUT IN NEW SENSORS AND RECALIBRATED THE SEAT. THE DAY AFTER THE REPAIR AS WE WERE DRIVING ON THE INTERSTATE I NOTICED THE LIGHT WAS ON AND MY SON WAS IN THE SEAT. HIM SHIFTING IN THE SEAT DID NOT CHANGE ANYTHING AND THE LIGHT STAYED ON WHICH INDICATES THE AIRBAGS WILL NOT DEPLOY ON THE PASSENGER SIDE IF WE WERE IN AN ACCIDENT. I HAD TO PULL OFF THE INTERSTATE, HAVE HIM GET OUT AND RESTART THE CAR. THIS HAPPENED AGAIN THIS PAST WEEKEND WITH MYSELF AS THE PASSENGER ( GROWN ADULT 5'6", 140 LBS). TODAY I TOOK IT INTO THE DEALERSHIP FOR REPAIR, BUT WAS TOLD THEY COULDNT COME UP WITH ANY DIAGNOSTIC CODES AND " THAT THIS IS HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS, THERE IS NO WEIGHT LIMITATION ON THE SYSTEM AND IF YOU SHIFT IN THE SEATS IT COULD TURN OFF THE AIRBAG, AND THAT THIS IS NORMAL AND HOW THE SYSTEM WAS DESIGNED". I AM CONCERNED FOR THE SAFETY ANYONE DRIVING IN THIS CAR AS A PASSENGER. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME THAT THIS CAN BE CONSIDERED "NORMAL". THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND MY CAR SHOULD HAVE A PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG IN IT THAT WORKS!

I HAVE TAKEN MY NISSAN TO THE DEALERSHIP 5 TIMES NOW FOR THE SAME ISSUE. THE AIRBAG LIGHT COMES ON, INDICATING THAT THE AIRBAG IS DEACTIVATED, EVEN WHEN I AM SITTING ON THE FRONT PASSENGER SIDE OF THE CAR. I AM AN ADULT WOMEN. I BROUGHT IT UP TO THEIR ATTENTION - THEY COULD NOT DUPLICATE THE ISSUE. I TOLD THEM THAT IT DOES NOT DO IT ALL THE TIME. THEN IT HAPPENED AGAIN - I TOOK A PICTURE, THEY SAID THE SAME THING AND DID WHATEVER TO IT - KEPT MY CAR FOR A MONTH, I WENT TO PICK IT UP AND IT DID IT AGAIN, WHILE DRIVING. THIS TIME I TOOK A VIDEO, CALLED IT IN TO NISSAN, AGAIN. THEY CALLED IN A SPECIALIST (WHY THEY DIDN'T DO IT WHEN THEY HAD THE CAR FOR A MONTH IS BEYOND ME). HE LOOKED AT IT AND SAID THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH THE VEHICLE. HE CONTINUED BY SAYING THAT THE SEAT BELT IS ALL I REALLY NEEDED ANYWAY. THAT IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN I NEED TO TURN THE CAR OFF AND WAIT 10 SEC. AND THE CAR WOULD REALIGN ITSELF, THAT IT WAS PROBABLY DUE TO THE WAY I WAS SITTING ON THE SEAT AND THE CAR KNOWS WHAT TO DO. I AM DONE WITH NISSAN - THEY ARE BASICALLY TELLING ME THAT WHEN IT HAPPENS, LET'S SAY ON THE FREEWAY, AS IT HAS, IF I WANT THE AIRBAG, I NEED TO PULL TO THE SIDE OF THE FREEWAY (DANGEROUS), LET IT SIT FOR 10 SEC. AND THEN RE-JOIN TRAFFIC(DANGEROUS) OR I KEEP GOING WITHOUT THE BENEFIT OF THE AIRBAG. I BOUGHT THE CAR BECAUSE I WANTED A SAFE CAR FOR MY NEW GRANDCHILD - THE SALESMAN CAN TESTIFY TO THIS. I CAN'T TRUST THE CAR, I WILL NOT SIT ANYONE IN THE FRONT PASSAGE SEAT BECAUSE I DO NOT KNOW IF THE AIRBAG WILL WORK WHEN NEEDED - BUT THEN AGAIN, ACCORDING TO NISSAN - "ALL I REALLY NEED IS THE SEATBELT".
