Nissan Cube Recalls

The Nissan Cube has 6 recalls covering the 2009–2014 production run, with the most serious being a start/stop button defect on 2013–2014 models where the button can stick in its housing and road vibrations then cause the engine to shut off without warning while driving.

The 2013–2014 model years also have a separate recall where the same ignition button issue applies to a narrow manufacturing window, so owners of late-production 2013 and early 2014 examples should confirm their vehicle's status. Turning to the 2009–2010 model years, two recalls address the fuel system: after a rear-impact crash, fuel can leak beyond allowable limits, and in the presence of an ignition source that leakage can result in a fire. The 2009 model year is covered by a related filing under Canadian safety standards for the same post-crash fuel spillage concern.

The 2009–2010 model years also have a driver's airbag inflator that can detach from the steering wheel during deployment, sending the inflator module toward the driver or other occupants in a crash rather than cushioning them. On 2009 models specifically, the passenger-side curtain airbag may have been positioned incorrectly during assembly, which can prevent a portion of the bag from fully inflating in a side-impact crash, reducing the protection it provides.
