Recalls, owner-reported complaints, investigations and safety data

Data refreshed

Owner complaintsComplaints are reports submitted to NHTSA by owners and drivers. NHTSA does not verify most reports before publishing them, and a complaint does not establish that a defect exists. Volume is influenced by how many of a vehicle were sold, how long it has been on the road, and how much attention an issue has received.

Safety recallsA safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
0
InvestigationsNHTSA opens an investigation to examine whether a safety defect may exist. An open investigation is not a determination that a defect exists, and many investigations close without a recall. Investigations can, however, lead to one.
0
Crash or fire reportedComplaints whose submitter recorded that a crash or a fire occurred. These are the reporter's own answers on the NHTSA form, not verified findings.

Driver assistance
Filed Dec 24, 2020

DRIVING THE VEHICLE FOR THE FIRST TIME, I NOTICED IMMEDIATELY THE INSIDE MIDDLE REAR VIEW MIRROR IS TOTALLY UNUSABLE IN A LARGE VAN SUCH AS THIS, WITH VERY LIMITED VIEW OF WHAT OR WHO IS BEHIND THE VAN. IT SEEMS AN EASY FIX SINCE THE VEHICLE IS ALREADY EQUIPPED WITH A REAR CAMERA AND MONITOR TO HELP DRIVER WHEN BACKING UP AND PUTTING GEAR IN REVERSE. ALL MFR NEED TO DO IS KEEP IT ON FOR DRIVER TO KNOW WHO OR WHAT IS BEHIND HIM AT ALL TIMES WHILE DRIVING IN PLACE OF THE MIRROR. WHEN REFERRED TO NISSAN OFFICE, WAS TOLD TO REFER IT TO DEALERSHIP, WHO CLAIM SEVERAL COMPLAINTS ABOUT IT AND WAS TOLD CAN BUY A SEPARATE CAMERA AND MONITOR FOR THIS. I THINK THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE, HAVING LEARNED TO DRIVE USING THE IMPORTANCE OF KNOWING WHO OR WHAT IS BEHIND YOU WHILE DRIVING. NO ACTION FROM NISSAN AND FROM DEALERSHIP FOR NOW.

They are not recalls: repairs described in a bulletin are usually only free if the vehicle is still under warranty or the manufacturer has extended coverage.

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. Older model years have had longer for reports to accumulate.
