Buying a used 2021 Nissan Kicks? Check these 2 recalls first
The 2021 Nissan Kicks has 2 recalls in this group, both titled around loss of power steering. Verify each applicable campaign separately rather than assuming one repair record covers both. NHTSA lists 76 owner complaints, which are unverified reports, including 6 crashes and 2 injuries, with 0 fires reported. Structure complaints number 24, unknown or other 16, forward collision avoidance 15, and electrical system 11. These complaint areas do not establish a connection to the steering recalls.
Before you buy
- Get the 17-character VIN from the seller and run it at nhtsa.gov/recalls. It shows which recalls are still unrepaired on that exact car.
- Verify VIN-specific completion of both power steering campaigns.
- Ask about intermittent heavy steering or steering warning lights.
- Request records for structure issues and collision-avoidance or electrical faults.
- Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
