• 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.

• Recall 2014093 [Canada]: Airbag
  On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant classification system software may incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult. If this occurs, the passenger airbag would be deactivated without the illumination of the airbag warning lamp. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant. Correction: dealers will reprogram the occupant classification system.

• 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

The air bag symbol stays on all the time.

Vehicle hood released due to bad release design and possible defect causing major damages. The hood release and gas release are next to each other like in the 2013 altima and the safety catch sticks overtime leaving an unsafe condition.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan nv200. While driving approximately 70 mph with the cruise control activated, there was a sudden loss of power steering, the steering wheel was loosely detached without warning and the vehicle veered to the right. The contact was not able to straighten the steering wheel and crashed into a ditch and a field. There were no injuries and a police report was not filed. The failure damaged the undercarriage of the vehicle and the license plate. The vehicle was towed to a dealer and the steering column was re-attached. The dealer refused to perform an alignment. The vin was not included in nhtsa campaign number: 13v603000 (steering). The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The contact was waiting for a response from them to further address the power steering failure. The approximate failure mileage was 53,389.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan nv200. While driving at any speed, the engine failed without warning and the vehicle was pulled over to the side of the road. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the fuel pump fuse was blown. The fuse was replaced; however, the issue recurred numerous times. The vehicle was diagnosed as "ground voltage drops on ground circuit to pump too high, needs negative battery ground, may also need body harness replaced due to high resistance in ground circuit". The vehicle was repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 97,000. Updated 12/20/16*lj the consumer also staed the tires wear out prematurely and get flat spots about every 6-8 inches.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan nv200. When the vehicle was parked and the contact attempted to turn the steering wheel left or right, a thumping noise was heard from the front of the vehicle. The vehicle was not diagnosed nor repaired. The manufacturer was not notified of the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 21,200.

I was driving in yorktown, ny 10598 and as i was making a right turn at the corner of hallocks mill rd. On to route 202, my nissan nv200 van just stopped. There was no warning, no flashing lights, no sound, nothing to indicate there was a problem with the vehicle. Up until this point, the van was driving perfectly as it had been doing since i got it. I had no reason to suspect that it would just come to a dead halt and the engine would die. Luckily there was not much traffic and cars were not going fast. However, if this had happened on a main road, especially one of the highways that i travel on, like rte. 84, the major deegan, the taconic, etc. I would have been killed. Imagine pulling out into traffic with trucks barreling down at you and your car just stops! Imagine if i had my family in the van in such circumstances. This is simply unacceptable and i don't feel i can safely drive this vehicle again.

Tl* the contact owns 2013 nissan nv200. The contact stated that the rear passenger tire was cupping from premature wear. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where the technician diagnosed that an alignment needed to be performed. The vehicle was repaired. However, the problem recurred 3 times. The manufacturer had been notified. The failure mileage was 28,686.

Tires worn out prematurely under normal use. The vehicle has been rendered unsafe or to drive because of the abnormal tire wear patterns, loss of tread, chopped up, cords showing , etcetera. *tr

Tires wear out extremely prematurely. One tire almost blew out because it had worn down to the cords because of the defective nature of these tires. *tr
