NISSAN CUBE Recalls

The Nissan Cube has 6 recalls covering the 2009–2014 production run, with the most serious being a fuel system integrity failure on 2009–2010 models where a rear-end collision can cause fuel to leak beyond safe limits, creating a fire risk if an ignition source is nearby. The other high-priority issue on 2009–2010 models involves the driver's front airbag inflator, which can detach from the steering wheel during deployment in a crash and strike the driver or other occupants. On 2009 models specifically, a separate assembly issue can prevent the passenger-side curtain airbag from fully deploying in a side-impact crash, reducing its protection. These two airbag concerns are distinct: one affects the driver's frontal bag, the other the side curtain. For the most recent production years, 2013–2014 models have a recall covering the engine start/stop button, which can stick in its housing and allow road vibrations to shut the engine off unexpectedly while driving. The final model year in particular shares this issue with a narrow window of 2013 production as well.
