Summary
The Nissan NV200 has 7 recalls spanning the 2013-2021 model years, with the most serious being a steering column assembly issue on 2013 models where components can separate and cause a complete loss of steering control. Several other recalls also concentrate on 2013 production. A wiring harness near the battery on those early vehicles can wear through its insulation and contact a metal bracket, causing a short circuit that can blow a fuse, stall the engine, or cause the wiring to melt and produce smoke, raising the risk of a fire. Separately but on the same 2013 models, the fuel tank temperature sensor harness can be damaged by contact with the fuel pump connector, shorting out the fuel pump fuse and cutting engine power without warning.
A broader fuel system recall covers 2013-2021 models and involves similar wiring damage to the fuel pump circuit. In these vehicles, an incorrectly routed sensor harness can wear against adjacent components, blow the fuel pump fuse, and stall the engine while driving.
The 2018 model year has a rearview camera that can fail to reset to its default display when shifted into reverse, meaning a driver who previously adjusted the camera view may see an unexpected or shifted image while backing up. The 2014 model year has a tire and loading information label with a French-language misspelling, which is a compliance issue with no associated safety consequence.
