Nissan Kicks Recalls

The Nissan Kicks has 17 recalls spanning the 2018–2026 model years, with the most pressing concern on 2026 models being door strikers with inadequate welds that can break and allow a door to swing open while the vehicle is moving. The 2026 model year also has a separate issue with front seat frames where an insufficiently welded hook bracket can let the seat work loose, reducing the seat's ability to restrain an occupant in a crash.

On 2025 models, the shift-to-park warning system can fail to alert the driver when the vehicle is shut off without being placed in Park, meaning the vehicle can roll away unexpectedly. That same generation has an instrument cluster software error that can cause the display to go partially or fully blank, hiding the speedometer, warning lights, and other critical information. A related but separate issue on 2025 models causes the center information display to go blank when shifted into reverse, eliminating the rearview camera image. The 2025 SR trim with the optional 19-inch wheel package is also subject to a compliance label recall where incorrect tire, rim, and weight rating information can lead to overloading or improper tire inflation.

The 2023–2024 model years have a driver-side airbag inflator that can absorb moisture and deploy improperly in a crash, reducing occupant protection. On 2021 models, an intermittent electrical connection in the electric power steering torque sensor can cause power steering assist to cut out, making the steering noticeably heavier, particularly at low speeds.

Going back to the earliest production years, 2018–2019 models are subject to a rearview camera recall shared across a broad range of Nissan vehicles where the backup camera image may not appear on the display when reversing.
