Nissan is recalling certain Nissan and Infiniti cars and SUVs because of a problem that happened during manufacturing. The inflator in the driver's airbag, which is the part that fills the bag, may absorb moisture. If that happens, the airbag may deploy improperly. Dealers will replace the entire driver's airbag assembly at no cost to the owner. Nissan mailed owner notification letters on April 10, 2024.
Some 2021 Nissan Versa and Kicks vehicles have a wiring issue in the electric power steering system. An occasional bad connection in the sensor that measures steering effort can turn off the power steering assist. This recall also covers vehicles that were already checked under an earlier recall but never got their steering column replaced; those vehicles will need to be inspected again.
On some Nissan Versa and Kicks vehicles, the electric power steering system has a torque sensor that can develop an intermittent electrical connection. When this happens, the power steering assist can turn off. Without power steering assist, it takes more effort to turn the steering wheel, especially at low speeds.
The front turn signal bulb on one or both sides of these vehicles can crack and stop lighting up. This affects certain Nissan Titan, Titan XD, and Versa vehicles. Nissan is recalling these vehicles so dealers can inspect the turn signal bulbs and replace them if they are cracked or not working.
On some Nissan Versa vehicles, a manufacturing issue may cause the fuel tank's wall to be thinner than intended in certain areas. Because of this, a small hole could form in the seam area of the tank. This affects the fuel tank located underneath the vehicle, where fuel is stored, and relates specifically to how the tank was built rather than any other part of the fuel system.
Nissan is recalling certain Nissan and Infiniti vehicles, including the Altima, Rogue, Sentra, Murano, Pathfinder, Titan, Frontier, Leaf, Versa and several Infiniti Q and QX models. The back-up camera and display settings can be changed so that the rear view picture no longer appears, and the vehicle keeps that setting the next time it is put in reverse. Because of this, the vehicles do not meet the federal rear visibility safety standard. Dealers will update the camera settings software at no cost.
Nissan is recalling certain Frontier, Versa, and Versa Note vehicles with a mechanical key ignition system. Over time, the weight hanging on the key ring, combined with road conditions or another jarring event, may cause the ignition switch to move out of the run position and into the accessory position. When that happens, the engine turns off while the vehicle is being driven, since the ignition switch is no longer in the position needed to keep the engine running.
Recalls and NHTSA owner complaints for each model year, side by side. Complaints are unverified owner reports, and better-selling or older years naturally collect more — read this as a record, not a ranking.

The 2021 Nissan Versa has the most, with 3 recalls. The 2019 model year has the fewest of the years we cover, with 1. Newer model years have had less time to collect recalls, so a low count on a recent year is not a guarantee.
No. None of the 7 Nissan Versa recalls on file carries a do-not-drive or park-outside advisory from NHTSA.
