Nissan Recalls — Canada & USA

Nissan has 58 models with recall activity in our database, spanning 1979 through 2026. Across those models, 739 recall campaigns are recorded, and the distribution skews heavily toward the upper tiers of the severity rating system: 47% of campaigns fall into the Critical tier and another 34% into High, meaning roughly 81% of all recorded campaigns carry the two most serious designations. Critical recalls typically involve conditions such as loss of vehicle control, fire risk, or failures that directly increase the likelihood of a crash or serious injury. High recalls cover defects that carry meaningful injury risk under foreseeable conditions. Medium campaigns account for 13% of the total, while Low and Informational together represent just 6% and under 1% respectively.

The Sentra leads the lineup with 91 recall campaigns on record, followed by the Rogue at 73 and the Altima at 67. Those three models alone account for more than 230 campaigns, or nearly a third of the entire Nissan total in the database. Other frequently recalled nameplates include a broad mix of sedans, SUVs, and trucks spanning nearly five decades of production. Among notable recent activity, a High recall covering certain 2009 Cube vehicles involves a driver air bag that can detach from its mounting, creating a risk that the bag or its components strike the driver or other occupants during a crash deployment.
