Buying a used 2022 Nissan Pathfinder? Check these 5 recalls first

5 NHTSA recalls · 135 owner complaints on file

Five recalls, all rated medium, and four involve body or seat hardware — a loose backup hood latch bracket, third-row headrests that may loosen or come off, weak welds in second-row seat backs, and a missing second-row seat bolt — while the fifth covers a backup camera that can quit. None carries a stop-driving or park-outside warning. Complaint volume is the highest in this group at 135 unverified reports, led by service brakes (34), electrical system (20) and engine (18).

Before you buy

1. 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.
2. Run the VIN and confirm all five recalls are closed, especially the missing second-row seat bolt.
3. Tug-test the third-row headrests and flex the second-row seat backs for looseness.
4. Check the hood latch and backup camera, and note any brake noise, pull, or soft pedal.
5. Open recalls are repaired free at any Nissan dealer, whoever owns the car — an open recall is a to-do item, not a bill.
