Nissan North America, Inc.
NHTSA Campaign: 19V654000 SAFETY RECALL
1.2M Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Sep 12, 2019
Safety Issue:

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."

Potential Risk:
The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
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.
Additional Details:

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.

Action Required: Contact your local NISSAN dealer to schedule your FREE recall repair.

153K Vehicles Affected
Recall Date: Aug 21, 2018
Safety Issue:

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2017 Nissan NV200, Sentra, NV3500 Van, NV3500 Bus, NV200 Taxi, NV1500, NV2500 Van, Chevrolet City Express, 2017-2018 Frontier, Versa Note, and Versa Sedan vehicles that have a mechanical (physical) key ignition system. In these models, over time, the weight on the key ring and road conditions or some other jarring event may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position to the accessory position, turning off the engine.

Potential Risk:
If the vehicle stalls, it can increase the risk of a crash.
FREE Recall Solution:
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the production information on the ignition switch, and replace it as necessary, free of charge. The recall began October 1, 2018. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

Defect Description:

ENGINE

Potential Consequences:

I bought this truck from my boss man and had it put in the shop to replace the head gasket but they ended up changing the valve cover the intake manifold gasket and putting plugs in it due to a smoking issue and skipping but after all the repairs were done it turns out that the valves are bad in the engine and they more than likely they were bad when they installed originally. It's causing stalling issues in traffic and I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem.

UNKNOWN OR OTHER

Potential Consequences:

THIS TRUCK IS A 2018 NISSAN FRONTIER THAT HAS ~10K MILES AND IS DRIVEN DAILY. IN THE EVENINGS IT IS KEPT OUTSIDE. RECENTLY, A HORRIBLE ODOR BEGAN COMING FROM THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED DISMANTLING THE PASSENGER DASH, REMOVED THE CABIN AIR FILTERS, AND DISCOVERED A DEAD MOTHER RAT AND 4 OFFSPRING IN THE COMPARTMENT ABOVE THE FILTERS. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM, THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. HOW WERE THEY ABLE TO GAIN ENTRY? I AM GUESSING THROUGH SOME FRESH AIR INTAKE THAT IS OBVIOUSLY OPEN TO THE EXTERIOR. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADD A VERY SIMPLE WIRE MESH COVER TO THE OFFENDING ENTRANCE. TO ALLOW ACCESS TO A FULLY GROWN RAT, IT IS ASSUREDLY 2-3" IN DIAMETER! THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, IT IS SUMMER, HIGH TEMPERATURES, AND HAD THE TRUCK BEEN LEFT UNATTENDED FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THE RESULTING ODOR MAY HAVE NEVER BEEN REMEDIATED. MY CONCERN IS, IF I CAN'T FIND AND COVER THE OPENING, THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

Corrective Action:

THIS TRUCK IS A 2018 NISSAN FRONTIER THAT HAS ~10K MILES AND IS DRIVEN DAILY. IN THE EVENINGS IT IS KEPT OUTSIDE. RECENTLY, A HORRIBLE ODOR BEGAN COMING FROM THE VENTILATION SYSTEM. I IMMEDIATELY STARTED DISMANTLING THE PASSENGER DASH, REMOVED THE CABIN AIR FILTERS, AND DISCOVERED A DEAD MOTHER RAT AND 4 OFFSPRING IN THE COMPARTMENT ABOVE THE FILTERS. IF I HAD NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND THE PROBLEM, THE TRUCK WOULD HAVE BEEN COMPLETELY UNUSABLE. HOW WERE THEY ABLE TO GAIN ENTRY? I AM GUESSING THROUGH SOME FRESH AIR INTAKE THAT IS OBVIOUSLY OPEN TO THE EXTERIOR. NISSAN NEEDS TO ADD A VERY SIMPLE WIRE MESH COVER TO THE OFFENDING ENTRANCE. TO ALLOW ACCESS TO A FULLY GROWN RAT, IT IS ASSUREDLY 2-3" IN DIAMETER! THANKFULLY, I WAS ABLE TO CATCH THE PROBLEM. HOWEVER, IT IS SUMMER, HIGH TEMPERATURES, AND HAD THE TRUCK BEEN LEFT UNATTENDED FOR SEVERAL DAYS, THE RESULTING ODOR MAY HAVE NEVER BEEN REMEDIATED. MY CONCERN IS, IF I CAN'T FIND AND COVER THE OPENING, THIS COULD HAPPEN AGAIN.

Defect Description:

FUEL/PROPULSION SYSTEM

Potential Consequences:

I BOUGHT MY 2018 FRONTIER WITH 40K MILES ON IT BACK IN APRIL 2018. I NOW HAVE ABOUT 56K MILES ON IT. OVER THE LAST COUPLE OF MONTHS IT GOT HARDER AND HARDER TO PUT GAS IN IT AND FOR A MONTH NOW IT SHUTS OFF MULTIPLE TIMES AND OR SPITS GAS OUT WHEN I TRY TO FILL IT. YES, WHILE FILLING THE TANK THE GAS PUMP WILL SHUT OFF AND GAS WILL SPIT OUT OF THE FILLER TUBE AND SPILL ONTO THE GROUND! TOOK IT TO MY LOCAL DEALER AND ASSUMED IT WOULD BE FIXED UNDER WARRANTY NOT KNOWING ANYTHING ABOUT THIS COMMON ISSUE. DEALER LOOKED AT IT AND TOLD ME $1,600 AND SUGGESTED REPLACING FILLER TUBE ASSEMBLY, CANISTER FILLER, CANISTER ASSEMBLY, CONTROL VALVE ASSEMBLY AND EVAP CONTROL SYSTEM PRESSURE SENSOR. THE PAPERWORK SAYS 'PLEASE CHECK AND ADVISE FOUND DTC FOR VENT VALVE P0448 SERVICE BULLETIN NTB15-079.' THEY SAID MY VEHICLE WAS OVER THE 35K GENERAL WARRANTY MILEAGE. I DID ONE MINUTE OF RESEARCH ON THE WEB AND FOUND A TSB AND NISSAN WEBSITE FOR THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT (15YRS/150K). I CALLED THE DEALER BACK AND SAID WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT THE TSB, THE NISSAN WEBSITE AND THAT THIS WAS A COMMON PROBLEM FOR 15 YEARS WITH MULTIPLE MODELS OF NISSAN VEHICLES? NOT MUCH OF A RESPONSE EXCEPT YOU CAN CALL NISSAN. I CALLED NISSAN AND WAS ASSIGNED A CASE MANAGER. THEY EXPLAINED THAT THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT WAS VIN SPECIFIC AND DID NOT APPLY TO MY VEHICLE. HE SAID HE WOULD REVIEW THE CASE AND GET BACK TO ME IN 4 DAYS! HE CALLED BACK AND SAID THEY HAD DECIDED NOT TO HELP ME AT ALL WITH THE REPAIR. SO, HERE I AM WITH A 2018 VEHICLE AND NISSAN WANTS ME TO SPEND $1600 TO FIX THIS ISSUE THEY HAVE HAD FOR 15 YEARS. THE SAME ISSUE THEY ARE COVERING FOR THOUSANDS OF OTHER CARS UP TO 15 YEARS OLD WITH THE WARRANTY ENHANCEMENT.

Defect Description:

VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL

Potential Consequences:

VEHICLE WAS STOPPED, FOOT ON BRAKE, EXITING A PUBLIC PARKING LOT, WHEN SUDDENLY ENGINE ACCELERATED RAPIDLY AND WHEELS WERE SCREECHING. THE PASSENGER OF VEHICLE HAD TO PLACE TRANSMISSION IN NEUTRAL, THEN PARK TO STOP VEHICLE FROM MOVING FORWARD. THIS ACTION DID NOT STOP ENGINE FROM REVVING AT EXTREME HIGH SPEED--RATHER, THE ENGINE WOULD SLOW DOWN AFTER ABOUT 3-5 SECONDS. THIS HAPPENED 5 TIMES, WITHIN A 10 MINUTE 4 MILE DRIVE, BUT NOT CONSISTENTLY. DRIVING APPROX. 15-25 MPH BETWEEN STOP SIGNS: BRAKE WOULD BE APPLIED AND THEN ENGINE AND TRUCK WOULD RACE FORWARD. EACH TIME THE PASSENGER WAS REQUIRED TO PUT SHIFT LEVER IN NEUTRAL TO AVOID HITTING VEHICLES OR OBJECTS IN FRONT OF VEHICLE. THE DRIVER WOULD CLEARLY STATE THAT FOOT WAS NOT ON THE GAS PEDAL.
