This page covers 6 recalls and 15 owner complaints for the 2013 Nissan Nv200.
Tire complaints dominate what owners of the 2013 Nissan NV200 report, making up the largest share of filed issues. Owners describe tire failures, including blowouts and unexpected tread or sidewall problems, often at highway speeds. Steering is the next most-reported system, with owners describing sudden loss of power steering while driving, in some cases accompanied by the steering wheel feeling loose or unresponsive, causing the vehicle to drift. A smaller number of complaints involve the wheels. Outside these leading systems, individual owners mention isolated issues, a recurring blown fuel pump fuse causing repeated engine shutoffs, an airbag warning light staying on continuously, and a hood latch releasing unexpectedly while driving, but these appear in single reports rather than as repeating patterns across the complaint set.

By System
The 2013 Nissan NV200 has 6 recalls, the most serious involving a steering column that may have been incorrectly reassembled after a post-production inspection, which can cause steering components to separate and result in a complete loss of steering control.
Two separate fuel system recalls address the same underlying problem: the fuel tank temperature sensor wiring can chafe or short-circuit, blowing the fuel pump fuse and causing the engine to stall without warning while driving. Related to that, wiring near the battery can wear against a fusible link bracket, creating an electrical short that can also stall the engine or cause the wiring to melt and produce smoke under the hood, raising the risk of a fire. The passenger seat sensor that determines whether to deploy the front airbag may not function correctly, meaning the passenger-side airbag can fail to deploy in a crash, leaving the front passenger without full protection.
