Recalls

3 vehicle recalls from the manufacturer. Repairs are free. Check your VIN to see if one is still open on your car.

Brakes Vehicle recall #15V012000 · 2015 · 893 vehicles

What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2014-2015 Nissan pathfinder and Infiniti qx60 vehicles manufactured August 14, 2014, to November 5, 2014, and 2014-2015 Nissan rogue vehicles manufactured August 12, 2014, to November 15, 2014. During the assembly process, the front wheel hub assembly fasteners May not have been properly torqued.

Why it matters: The under-torqued fasteners May result in a brake caliper separating from the wheel assembly causing a reduction in braking performance or reduced steering control. These conditions increase the risk of a crash.

The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the vehicles and tighten any loose bolts to the proper specification, free of charge. The recall began February 2, 2015.

The affected vehicles received an incorrect occupant classification system (ocs) control unit during a repair. These ocs control units May incorrectly classify the front…

Why it matters: If the ocs does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.

The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the ocs software, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015.

Why it matters: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.

The fix: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet city express owners will be notified by general motors. Dealers will reprogram the air bag control unit (acu) and ocs electronic control unit (ECU) in altima, maxima, murano, rogue, and sentra vehicles, and replace the ocs ECU in leaf, nv200, nv200 taxi,…
