NHTSA Mandated Recalls
  • Recall 147791 [USA]: A brake fluid leak on the circuit board may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
    Nissan north america, inc. (nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2018 nissan murano, 2016-2018 nissan maxima, and 2017-2019 nissan pathfinder and infiniti qx60 vehicles. These vehicles were previously recalled and unrepaired, or inspected and determined to not need a repair, under recall number 18v-601. In addition, this recall expands the previous population. The anti-lock brake system (abs) actuator pumps may allow brake fluid to leak onto an internal circuit board.
    nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the abs actuator, free of charge. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available, currently expected to be during summer 2020. Owners may contact nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Note: if the abs warning light remains illuminated for more than 10 seconds after engine start up, owners are advised to park the vehicle outdoors away from other vehicles or structures and to not drive the vehicle.
    owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.Safercar.Gov.

  • Recall 151862 [USA]: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
    Nissan north america, inc. (nissan) is recalling certain 2018-2019 nissan altima, armada, frontier, kicks, leaf, maxima, murano, nv, nv200, pathfinder, rogue, rogue sport, sentra, titan, titan diesel, versa note and versa sedan vehicles, as well as infiniti q50, q60, qx30 and qx80 vehicles. Additionally included are 2019 nissan gt-r and taxi and infiniti qx50, qx60, q70, q70l vehicles. The back-up camera and display settings can be adjusted such that the rear view image is no longer visible and the system will retain that setting the next time the vehicle is placed in reverse. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) number 111, "rear visibility."
    nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge. The recall began november 11, 2019 and all affected vins should be activated. Owners may contact nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or infiniti customer service at 1-800-662-6200.
    owners may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.Safercar.Gov.

  • Recall 2019567 [Canada]: Brakes
    Issue: on certain vehicles, the antilock brake system (abs) actuator pump may leak brake fluid and malfunction. This would cause the abs warning lamp to turn on. If this problem is not fixed, damage to the abs actuator could result in a short circuit. Note: this is a replacement and expansion of transport canada recall 2018-486. All vehicles that did not have the abs actuator pump replaced under that recall require this repair. Safety risk: a short circuit could increase the risk of a fire, even while parked. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail with an interim notice. A final repair is not yet available. If the abs warning light stays on for 10 seconds or longer, you should park your vehicle outdoors away from other vehicles or structures. You should also call nissan or infiniti roadside assistance to have your vehicle towed to a dealer for repair. A second notice will be sent to you once the final repair parts are available. This letter will advise you to take their vehicle to a dealer to replace the abs actuator.

  • Recall 2019459 [Canada]: Visual system
    Issue: on certain vehicles, the rear view camera system does not return to the default setting when the transmission is shifted to reverse. This could cause a reduction in rear visibility if a driver had previously adjusted the camera display. Canadian regulations require that the rear view image returns to its original setting each time the camera is turned on. Safety risk: reduced rear visibility could increase the risk of a crash. Corrective actions: the company will notify owners by mail and instruct them to take their vehicle to a dealer to update the software for the rear view camera.

To ensure accuracy and for your safety, it is recommended to do a free VIN recall check here or here [USA] - UK - Canada.

Panoramic sunroof exploded while driving on interstate highway @ 70mph on hot sunny humid day. After research it appears that this is a known issue for nissan sunroofs with numerous claims resulting in a class action lawsuit in calfornia. Nissan has responded to my complaint that they aren't liable even though the vehicle is under nissan warranty with the exclusion that glass is not covered unless a known product defect is determined. My nissan case number is [xxx]. I've turned to my insurance carrier for repairs. This is a dangerous situation.

When driving a error message on the front radar randomly appears. It says "unavailable front radar obstruction" and affects the adaptive cruise control. This error is happening even in clear road conditions and for no reason. Other people are reporting same error message for no reason also.

I bought this car for may wife and long trips. It was rated satisfactory by consumers report. I received a recall from nissan that the car could leak brake fluid and catch fire. They will not be able to fix it until summer of 2020. In the mean time if the abs light comes on i should pull it to the side of the road and call nissan's towing service this makes the car unsuitable for long trips especially if my wife is driving. Calling the dealer and nissan america got no response but that is the way things are. A woman pulling a car to the side of the road at night is not safe.Not having parts to replace a safety defect is unconscionable

When is in motion on any type of street and also at a stop, when getting close to a vehicle or if someone cuts in front of me, or if there is a street sign directly in front of the car, this message appears very briefly "unavailable front radar obstruction" which also shows the icon of two front end of cars colliding. This happened immediately after puchasing my 2018 maxima. The dealership has not said a word about being aware of this problem when it is a known problem with certain nissan vehicles. The cost to bring it into the dealership and for any repairs at this point would be out of my pocket since the car is no longer under warranty. This faulty radar compromises the emergency braking system in the car.

Tl* the contact owns a 2018 nissan maxima. While driving various speeds, the collision avoidance system erroneously activated although no objects were present in front of the vehicle. The vehicle was taken to napleton nissan (10964 page ave, st. Louis, mo) where the collision avoidance sensor wa recalibrated; however, the failure continued. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and provided case number: 2170186. The failure mileage was 40,000.

Unavailable front radar obstruction. This alert happens at random times when driving, it puts the sensor in an unavailable mode which in turns does not allow the safety function to work properly. I have done searches online and this is happening not only to maximas but to other nissan make/models. This is not a one time and done occurrence it happens often. When we purchased the car safety was one of our biggest concerns leading us to believe nissan provided safe cars, apparently, that is not the case. In my opinion, this should be a recall fix, this is a safety issue!

I rented a nissan maxima 2018 for a road trip. Unfortunately, i didn't have the renter car insurance coverage i decided to go with my insurance. However, i was driving down the express way and i heard what sounded like a gunshot the sunroof exploded with no known explanation. I was devastated. There were glass flying all over me and my friend who was with me at the time. I feel like the car was a defective car and unsafe car! They are now making me reliable in all the damage cost to a vehicle that i had no control over. I did some research and found out that there were lawsuits from nissan known sunroof explosion. I'm not sure if theres a recall on that particular car. I need suggestions and guidance. I wish i never rented that car....

I was driving in the right lane on a four lane interstate highway with good driving conditions and a 70 mph speed limit. The car was an enterprise rental. Adaptive cruise control uses the accelerator and brakes to maintain a safe distance to the car ahead. It is done by sensing the distance to the car ahead at about 5 car lengths then adjusting the accelerator and brakes as needed to maintain this spacing and avoid a rear end collision. The fault is seen in changing lanes. The cruise was set at 70 mph and my car approached a car ahead going 65 mph. My car's adaptive cruise decelerated to 65 mph. I steered into the next lane, and the space was not the requisite 5 car lengths, the car sensed a car closer than 5 lengths reducing my speed to less than 65 mph. My car was now slowing down below 65 mph in a lane with cars going 70 mph. I pressed on the accelerator, accelerating to 70 mph, avoiding a rear end collision. Enterprise did not inform me of the adaptive cruise features and operation. There was no warning sticker in the car stating: "turn off cruise control when changing lanes."

Driving a rented nissan maxima i encountered an issue i am concerned with. While changing a radio station i accidentally hit something that brought up a menu. Trying to get back to the original screen i found myself on the ongoing lane. We should not be looking at a screen when driving. It should not exist. I am very concerned with these unnecessary devices in cars that car companies push to make a sale. I find it a very dangerous distraction.
