Recalls and investigations
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.

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.

Service brakesJan 14, 2015
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.

I HAD PROBLEMS WITH MY AIR BAG SENSOR EVER SINCE I BOUGHT THE CAR. EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE WHEN I HAD A PASSENGER IN THE FRONT SEAT THE AIR BAG WOULD DEACTIVATE. ORIGINALLY THE SERVICE MANAGER STATED THAT MY PURSE MUST BE TO HEAVY AND IS KNOCKING OUT THE CALIBRATION. THE SECOND TIME I GOT A LESSON ON HOW TO SIT IN THE SEAT PROPERLY. FINALLY, NISSAN ADMITTED THERE WAS A PROBLEM AND ANNOUNCED THE RECALL. SINCE IT WAS HAPPENING MORE AND MORE FREQUENTLY THE DEALER PUT ME ON THE TOP OF THE LIST TO CALL WHEN THEY RECEIVED THE PARTS. SATURDAY I FINALLY WAS ABLE TO BRING THE CAR IN FOR THE AIR BAG OCS SENSOR RECALL REPAIR. WHEN I PICKED THE CAR UP AFTER THE SERVICE I NOTICED THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT STAYED ON CONTINUOUSLY. ACCORDING TO THE MANUAL "AFTER PLACING THE IGNITION SWITCH IN THE ON POSITION, THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ILLUMINATES. THE SUPPLEMENTAL AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT WILL TURN OFF AFTER ABOUT 7 SECONDS IF THE SYSTEM IS OPERATIONAL". I WENT BACK INSIDE AND MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE MANAGER AND WAS TOLD THAT WAS THE FIX THAT NISSAN IMPLEMENTED. THE WARNING LIGHT IS NOW ON CONSTANTLY UNLESS SOMEONE IS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THIS DOES NOT SEEM RIGHT AND GOES AGAINST EVERYTHING IN THE NISSAN MANUAL. ADDITIONALLY, HAVING A WARNING LIGHT ON AT NIGHT IN THE VEHICLE IS A DISTRACTION.

MY WIFE AND I LEFT OUR HOME AND DROVE OUR NISSAN PATHFINDER INTO THE CITY ON 27TH STREET GOING INTO MILWAUKEE, AND OUR SUN ROOF EXPLODED, SHOWING GLASS SHARDS DOWN ON US WITH NO WARNING, NO ROCKS, OR NO DEBRIS ON THE ROAD TO BE SEEN ANYWHERE. OUR DEALER SAYS CALL YOUR INSURANCE. HOWEVER AFTER READING SEVERAL FORUMS, I SEE THE THIS HAS HAPPENED TO OTHER DRIVERS AND WANT TO FILE A COMPLAINT. WHEN WE WENT TO PICK UP THE CAR, IT STILL HAD SHARDS OF GLASS SCATTERED THROUGHOUT THE INTERIOR AND GLASS WAS STILL LAYING ON THE EXTERIOR TOP OF THE CAR. WE WERE VERY DISAPPOINTED WITH THE DEALER AND OUR INSURANCE COMPANY ON THEIR HANDLING OF THE INCIDENT.

WHILE DRIVING OUR PATHFINDER IN STOP AND GO TRAFFIC, I'VE STARTED TO NOTICE AND FEEL A JUDDERING & JERKING MOTION COMING FROM THE TRANSMISSION/POWERTRAIN EVERY TIME I DEPRESS OR PRESS ON THE GAS PEDAL AT BETWEEN SPEEDS OF 15 TO 40 MPH. I PLAN TO REPORT THIS TO NISSAN ALONG WITH A COUPLE MORE ISSUES LIKE THE CRACKLING SOUND COMING FROM THE FRONT SUSPENSION USUALLY AFTER REVERSING BACK OUT OF A DRIVEWAY THEN MOVING FORWARD WHILE SLIGHTLY TURNING THE WHEEL BACK TO A STRAIGHT POSITION. COULD BE A BEARING ISSUE, RACKING PINION OR POSSIBLY THE BRAKE ISSUES THAT HAVE BEEN RECALLED. I WILL ALSO REPORT THE CONSTANT ANNOUNCE OF A CRACKLING SOUND COMING FROM THE WOOD PANELING AROUND STEREO AND AIR CONDITION CONTROLS. LAST BUT NOT LEAST THE SCARY & VISIBLE SHAKING OF THE FRONT HOOD WHILE DRIVING AT SPEEDS OF OVER 80MPH. THIS VIOLENTLY SHAKING FROM THE HOOD WILL CERTAINLY LET YOU KNOW THAT IF YOU GO ANY FASTER CHANCES ARE THE HOOD WILL FLY OFF OR CAUSE SERIOUS DAMAGE TO THE VEHICLE OR POSSIBLY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. THERE IS NO DOUBT IN MY MIND THAT THIS IS ISSUE IS CLEARLY AN AERO DYNAMIC FLAW. HOW CAN THEY NOT HAVE BEEN AWARE OF THIS POSSIBLE SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE ?

THERE HAVE BEEN SEVERAL INCIDENTS WHERE A FULL SIZE ADULT PASSENGER HAS BEEN RIDING IN THE FRONT PASSENGER SEAT AND THE AIRBAG SENSOR DOES NOT DETECT THE ADULT AND TURNS OFF THE AIRBAG. THERE HAVE BEEN TIMES WHER THE VEHICLE IS PARKED AND WHEN THE PASSENGER GETS IN, BEFORE THE CAR IS STARTED, ONCE THE CAR IS STARTED, THE AIRBAG IS ALREADY OFF BEFORE WE LEAVE. OTHER TIMES IN THE MIDDLE OF DRIVING THE AIR BAG WILL JUST TURN OFF. SOMETHING IS REMAINS ON FOR THE WHOLE TRIP UNTIL THE VEHICLE IS TURNED OFF ONCE WE REACH OUR DESTINATION, OTHER TIMES THE LIGHT WILL TURN OFF AND THE AIRBAG TURNS BACK ON BEFORE WE ARRIVE AT OUR DESTINATION. I CONTACTED MY LOCAL NISSAN DEALER AND WAS TOLD, YEA, THEY ARE REAL SENSITIVE AND IF THE LIGHT IS ACTIVATED THE AIR BAG IS TURNED OFF AND WILL NOT WORK. BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN TODAY AND INSISTED THEY LOOK AT IT. SAID THEY WOULD DO A ZERO RESET ON THE SYSTEM AND SEE IF THAT WILL FIX IT. MOST RECENT INCIDENT WAS APRIL 17, 2016. HAVE MORE PHOTOS FROM PAST INCIDENTS AS WELL.

I PURCHASED THE VEHICLE IN JULY, 2015. THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON SEVERAL TIMES WHILE A PASSENGER WAS IN THE FRONT SEAT SHORTLY AFTER I GOT THE CAR. DURING MY FIRST ROUTINE SERVICE APPOINTMENT ON FEB. 1, 2016 I MENTIONED IT TO THE SERVICE TECH AND THEY CHECKED BUT COULDN'T REPLICATE THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, THEY PERFORMED A ZERO RESET AT THAT TIME. THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN ON 3/11, 4/9, AND 4/30 WHILE A PASSENGER OF PROPER WEIGHT AND HEIGHT WAS SEATING IN THE SEAT. ADDITIONALLY, ON 4/20 THE SEAT BELT INDICATOR LIGHT WAS LIT IN THE INSTRUMENT PANEL EVEN THOUGH THERE WAS NO PASSENGER IN THE CAR AND THE DRIVER WAS BUCKLED UP. I TOOK IT BACK TO THE SERVICE STATION TODAY, 5/7, FOR THESE PROBLEMS. THEY STATED THAT THERE ARE NO OPEN RECALLS ON MY VEHICLE AND THEY COULDN'T DUPLICATE THE PROBLEM. THIS IS NOW THE SECOND TIME MY CAR HAS BEEN IN FOR SERVICE FOR THE SAME PROBLEM AND NOTHING WAS FOUND TO BE WRONG. I NOW DRIVE WITH MY CELLPHONE NEXT TO ME AND TAKE PICTURES EVERY TIME THIS OCCURS.

I WORKED WITH NISSAN LAST YEAR TO RESOLVE AN ISSUE THAT I HAD WITH A PATHFINDER AIRBAG ISSUE (NISSAN CASE 19556126). 'THE ORIGINAL VEHICLE WAS REPLACED AND I'VE HAD THE BAD LUCK OF GETTING A 2015 PATHFINDER WITH THE SAME ISSUE. 'I'VE HAD THIS VEHICLE SINCE LATE NOVEMBER OF 2015, IT HAS APPROX. 3700 MILES ON IT AND IS ALREADY EXHIBITING ISSUES WITH THE PASSENGER AIRBAG. 'IT HAS BEEN IN 3 TIMES WITH DOCUMENT (VIDEOS) INSTANCES WHERE THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT IS ON, WHILE DRIVING WITH A PERSON WEIGHING MORE THAN 100LBS IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. THESE ARE INTERMITTENT ISSUES. ONE TIME I DROVE WITH THE AIRBAG OFF LIGHT ON FROM CLEVELAND TO RICHFIELD 'APPROX. 30 MILES. I FEEL THAT THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUES THAT COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH IF IT IS NOT FIXED. 'IT STILL IS NOT RESOLVED. 'JOEL TANNER, HAS BEEN MY CONTACT AT AIRPORT NISSAN (440-884-7800) WHERE THE CAR CAME FROM AND HAS BEEN SERVICED. HE STATED THAT THEY COULD NOT FIND AN ISSUE WITH THE VEHICLE'S AIRBAG. HOWEVER, I HAVE CLEARLY DOCUMENTED THE ISSUE WITH VIDEOS. 'DIKOTA, AT NISSAN CONSUMER AFFAIRS (615- 725-7590) TALKED WITH ME AND STATED THAT THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY VEHICLE. 'THE VEHICLE HAS ALSO BEEN IN FOR ENGINE LIGHT ISSUES WHICH FOR THE TIME HAVE BEEN RESOLVED.

I HAVE VIDEOS THAT CAN BE SENT BUT YOUR WEBSITE DOESN'T ACCEPT THEM - PLEASE PROVIDE A WAY TO SEND THEM TO YOU.

IT STARTED WITH THE DREADED HESITATING/JERKING THING I HAVE READ ABOUT NISSAN CVT TRANNYS. THE DEALERSHIP STATED IT WAS A VALVE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION, AND NOT THE TRANNY ITSELF. HOW IS A VALVE INSIDE THE TRANSMISSION NOT BE A PART OF THE TRANSMISSION?!?! THEY NEEDED TO REPLACE IT AND IT WILL TAKE APPROXIMATELY 3 DAYS. THEY SAID IF IT MIGHT OR MIGHT NOT SOLVE THE PROBLEM. IF AFTER REPAIR, IT CONTINUES, THEY WILL HAVE TO REPLACE THE WHOLE TRANSMISSION. I THOUGHT NISSAN ALREADY FIXED THIS CVT TRANSMISSION ISSUE?
