Nissan North America appears in 133 vehicle campaigns received by NHTSA between 2016 and 2025, 17.8 million vehicle notices, and 12 more in 2026 so far, which places it in the lower half of the 18 brands we follow. Its record is uneven: only 5 campaigns in 2019, then 21 in 2021. Air bags lead the recalled systems with 25 campaigns, then the electrical system (18). Two campaigns stand out by size. 16V244000, received on April 26, 2016, covered 3.3 million vehicles for passenger air bag occupant sensing, across the Altima, Maxima, Sentra, Pathfinder, LEAF and NV200. 20V315000, in 2020, concerned the secondary hood latch of 1.8 million Altimas, which could let the hood fly open at speed if the primary latch was released. Infiniti campaigns are filed by Nissan but recorded under the Infiniti make.

The Rogue, Nissan's most recalled model
The Rogue is Nissan's best seller and appears in 23 campaigns received since 2021, more than any other Nissan. Campaigns on recent Rogues concern the variable compression turbo engine introduced for 2022, steering, and software. The Rogue page lists each model year since 2012 with its campaigns, crash ratings and EPA mileage. The Sentra and the Frontier pickup come next with 14 campaigns each.
CVT complaints are not recalls
Many Nissan owners know the brand for its continuously variable transmissions, which drew class actions and warranty extensions on the Rogue, Altima, Sentra and Versa. Those extensions are not safety recalls: they do not appear in NHTSA's campaign file, and the lookup above will not show them. Ask a Nissan dealer whether a warranty extension covers your VIN, separately from the safety recall status, which is on nhtsa.gov/recalls.
Park-outside campaigns
Nissan has 3 campaigns with a park-outside warning since 2016, for fire risks on ABS units and wiring. Those are the campaigns not to put off: the fire can start with the car parked and switched off. The advisory guide shows how often makers issue them.
