Buying a used 2020 Nissan Versa? Check these 2 recalls first

2 NHTSA recalls · 64 owner complaints on file

The standout item is a critical recall for a gas tank that may develop a leak; a second, lower-severity recall covers cracking front turn signal bulbs. Neither carried a stop-driving or park-outside instruction. NHTSA logged 64 owner complaints — unverified reports — including 5 crashes and 5 injuries, with no fires. The complaint clusters sit in power train and forward collision avoidance (16 each), plus engine and uncategorized entries, so drivetrain behavior and driver-assist function are worth attention on a test drive.

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 get paperwork showing the fuel tank leak recall was completed
3. Check under the car and near the filler for fuel smell or staining
4. Confirm both front turn signals work and the bulb lenses are not cracked
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.
