   Engine and Engine Cooling / Engine / Hard Parts Internal/Mechanical

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2021-2024 Rogue, 2019-2020 Altima, 2019-2022 Infiniti QX50, and 2022 Infiniti QX55 vehicles equipped with 3-cylinder 1.5L or 4-cylinder 2.0L variable compression turbo (VC-Turbo) engines. The engine bearings may have manufacturing defects that can lead to engine failure.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Engine failure increases the risk of a crash. A bearing failure may cause a breach in the engine block, allowing hot oil to be discharged, increasing the risk of an engine fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will reprogram the engine control module (ECM) software, free of charge. Owner letters were mailed April 8, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 or Infiniti's customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are R25A8/A9 and R25B1/B2.

   Report filed by Nissan North America, Inc.. Manufacturer campaign number R25A8/A9 R25B1/B2/D1. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 26 Jan 2026.

2. 23V628000Received 8 Sep 2023. 153,376 units.

   Back Over Prevention / Sensing System / Camera

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019-2021 Altima and 2020-2021 Sentra vehicles. Damage to the camera harness can cause distortion or loss of the rearview camera display image. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A rearview camera that does not properly display an image can reduce the driver's rear view, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Dealers will inspect the rearview camera and harness for damage and replace them as necessary. If no damage is found, the dealer will apply protective tape and reroute the rearview camera harness. Repairs will be performed free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 19, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is R23C3.

   Report filed by Nissan North America, Inc.. Manufacturer campaign number R23C3. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 19 Oct 2023.

3. 21V169000Received 11 Mar 2021. 36,141 units.

   Tires / Sidewall

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019-2020 Altima and 2018-2021 Titan vehicles equipped with Continental tires. On the affected vehicles, it is possible that one or more tires were cured for too long during tire production.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   Over cured tires may develop a break in the sidewall, resulting in sudden air loss or belt edge separation which could lead to tread/belt loss. Either condition can cause a loss of vehicle control, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the tires, and replace them as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed on May 11, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PC798.

   Report filed by Nissan North America, Inc.. Manufacturer campaign number PC798. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 11 May 2021.

4. 19V654000Received 12 Sep 2019. 1,228,830 units.

   Back Over Prevention / Sensing System / Camera

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   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."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   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.

   Report filed by Nissan North America, Inc.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 11 Nov 2019.

5. 19V316000Received 18 Apr 2019. 374 units.

   Fuel System, Gasoline / Delivery / Fuel Pump

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019 Altima vehicles equipped with front wheel drive (FWD) and 2.5 liter engines. The fuel pump lock ring may not be fully engaged, possibly causing fuel to leak. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 301, "Fuel System Integrity."

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A fuel leak in the presence of an ignition source increases the risk of a fire.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the fuel tank assembly. If the lock ring is disengaged, dealers will tighten the ring to specification. If the lock ring is detached, dealers will replace the fuel pump. Both remedies will be completed free of charge. The recall began May 15, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

   Report filed by Nissan North America, Inc.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 15 May 2019.

6. 19V235000Received 25 Mar 2019. 5,744 units.

   Exterior Lighting / Brake Lights / Switch

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019 Nissan Altima vehicles. The brake switch bracket may be in the incorrect location, which may cause the brake switch to remain on.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the brake switch remains in the ON position, the brake lights will remain illuminated when the brakes are not being pressed, which may confuse other drivers. Additionally, the transmission shift lever may be moved out of the Park position without the brake pedal being pressed, allowing the vehicle to roll unexpectedly. Either condition increases the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and install a new brake pedal as needed, free of charge. The recall began May 15, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

   Report filed by Nissan North America, Inc.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 15 May 2019.

7. 18V922000Received 20 Dec 2018. 23,903 units.

   Fuel System, Gasoline / Delivery / Fuel Pump

   Defect, in the NHTSA record

   Nissan North America, Inc (Nissan) is recalling certain 2019 Altima vehicles. The retainer clip connecting the low pressure fuel tube to the high pressure fuel pump may not have been locked into position.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   If the retainer clip is unlocked, the fuel tube may shift and cause a fuel leak, increasing the risk of a fire. If the fuel tube fully disconnects, the engine can stall, increasing the risk of a crash.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   Nissan has notified owners, and dealers will route the fuel hose into the holding clip and lock the retainer clip into place, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began February 11, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

   Report filed by Nissan North America, Inc.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 11 Feb 2019.
