• Recall R/2016/081 [UK]: Back doors / hatchback may be unsupported when open
  The paint coating applied to the back door gas stay does not comply with the design requirement for anti-corrosion. Therefore the outer tube of the gas stay may corrode and crack resulting in the loss of the pressurised gas inside the gas stay. In this condition the gas stay would be unable to support the opening of the back door allowing it to drop on the vehicle user.
  recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the back door gas stay.

• Recall 2016179 [Canada]: Seats and restraints
  On certain vehicles, a defect in the occupant classification system could allow an adult sitting in the front passenger seat to be classified as a child or an “empty seat”. This would suppress the airbag, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: for affected altima, maxima, murano, rogue and sentra vehicles, dealers will reprogram the airbag control unit and the occupant classification system control unit. For affected leaf, nv200, pathfinder, q50 and jx35/qx60 vehicles, dealers will replace the occupant classification system electronic control unit.

• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation # EA21002

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan nv200. While driving, the engine shut off and the power steering seized. The contact was able to steer the vehicle to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to an independent mechanic who replaced the fuse to the fuel pump. The vehicle was repaired, but the contact was concerned that the failure would recur due to the number of recalls he found. The contact called kings nissan (2758 coney island ave, brooklyn, ny 11235, (718) 934-3300) and voiced his concerns. The manufacturer stated that there were no recalls and assigned a specialist to call the contact back in the near future. The failure mileage was 147,000.

While driving the vehicle my air bag light continued to flash. I called my dealership and informed them of the issue and they sated they needed to run diagnotics. After receiving the vehicle back the dealer stated it was a software update needed to the vehicle to comply with the air bag standard. I was charged 130.00 usd to be told there items needed an update.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2014 nissan nv200. The contact received notification of nhtsa campaign number: 16v244000 (air bags) and stated that the part was not available within a reasonable time frame to schedule the recall repair. The dealer did not give a specific date for when the part would become available. The contact was unable to determine when the vehicle would be repaired. The manufacturer could not provide an estimated date for when the vehicle would receive the recall repair. Parts distribution disconnect.

Ocs recall 5/23/16, parts to resolve still not available....

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan nv200. While driving approximately 25 mph, the transmission downshifted and the vehicle hesitated. The vehicle was maneuvered to the side of the road where the engine was turned off. After restarting, the vehicle resumed normally. The failure recurred on three separate occasions. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The failure mileage was unavailable.

Vehicle lost power while traveling in rush hour traffic. Engine was running but there was no response when stepping down on accelerator. This problem has occurred 3 times in the last three (3) weeks and at least a half-dozen times in the last two (2) months. This vehicle is a 2014 nissan nv200 taxi s 2wd. This problem has been reported to my garage mechanics who are baffled and turned over to the dealership (koeppel nissan, long island city, ny) who are also baffled. Both my garage mechanics and the service people at koeppel state this appears to be an ongoing and troublesome problem fleet wide with this model but nissan has yet either not completely acknowledged the problem or developed an adequate fix.

Airbag light stays on when an adult is in the passenger seat. Not sure if that means no airbag will deploy if there is an accident. Vehicle was taken to casa nissan, where it was purchased, in el paso, tx with the complaint. *tr

On-going issue. Passenger's air bag warning that the airbag is "off" is lit when my spouse is in the seat. This problem is intermittent, but occurs close to 50% of the time. The first time that the vehicle was in the nissan shop, the tech said that "he could reproduce the problem" and that it was resolved by "resetting the computer". The second time in the shop, we were told that my wife's weight, ~100 lbs, was borderline for the sensor and that we should expect the observed intermittent behavior. They were not able to supply any information regarding the dot guidance on the passenger's weight at which the air bag should be disabled.

Tl* the contact owns a 2014 nissan nv200. The contact stated that the engine would not shut off. The check engine light illuminated. The failure recurred several times. The vehicle was taken to the dealer and repaired, but the failure recurred. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The failure mileage was 24,000.
