2013 Nissan Redundant NV200

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.

Latest Apr 26, 2016
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.

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.

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION

Apr 26, 2016
3,296,947 units potentially affected
The defect: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
The risk: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
The remedy: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL; ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:SOFTWARE

Mar 25, 2014
989,701 units potentially affected
The defect: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2014 Altima, LEAF, Pathfinder, and Sentra, model year 2013 NV200 (aka Taxi) and Infiniti JX35 and model year 2014 Infiniti Q50 and QX60 vehicles. In the affected vehicles, the occupant classification system (OCS) software may incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
The risk: If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger airbag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
The remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on April 14, 2014. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

STEERING:COLUMN

Nov 29, 2013
7 units potentially affected
The defect: Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013 NV200 vehicles. After the affected vehicles were built, the steering column assembly was disassembled for inspection. The steering columns may not have been reassembled correctly after the inspection.
The risk: The incorrect reassembly of the steering column may cause certain steering column components to separate resulting in a loss of steering, increasing the risk of a crash.
The remedy: Nissan has notified the owners and inspected and corrected the steering column assembly as necessary, free of charge. The recall began in November 2013. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

THE TIRES WEAR SO VERY QUICKLY, WITHIN 3-4 MONTHS. THIS IS A VAN REPRESENTED AS A COMMERCIAL VAN,IT CANNOT MEET THE NEEDS OF COMMERCIAL TRANSPORTATION. THERE NEEDS TO BE A RECALL AND NISSAN NEEDS TO FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THE TIRES TO WEAR SO QUICKLY. THIS IS DANGEROUS AND CONSUMERS ARE UNSAFE DUE TO THIS PROBLEM. IT IS GOING TO CAUSE AN INCIDENT OR DEATHS! SOMEONE PLEASE MAKE NISSAN FIGURE OUT WHAT IS CAUSING THIS PROBLEM AND FIX IT SO CONSUMERS ARE SAFE DRIVING ON THE ROADS EVERY DAY FOR THEIR JOBS.

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.
