NHTSA safety recalls, owner-reported complaints and investigations, by model and model year · 1985–2003
Data refreshed
Our database holds 70 NHTSA owner-reported complaints filed against Nissan Diesel vehicles. Our database also holds 10 safety recall campaigns and 1 NHTSA investigation covering at least one Nissan Diesel model year.
Complaints are reports submitted by owners and drivers to NHTSA. They are not verified and do not establish that a defect exists.
Ordered by total owner-reported complaint volume, which is not a ranking of quality
Higher-selling and older vehicles accumulate more reports. Counts are not failure rates and are not directly comparable between vehicles that sold in very different numbers. Complaint totals count a report once for each model year it names; recall totals count a campaign once per model.
