ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
- The defect
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2025-2026 Kicks vehicles. A software error in the combination meter may cause the screen display to go partially or fully blank. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 101, "Control and Displays."
- What it can cause
- A partial or blank screen display will not show critical safety information such as vehicle speed and warning lights, increasing the risk of a crash.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will resume the software reprogramming of the combination meter software, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 6, 2026. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261. Nissan's number for this recall is PMA66. Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) involved in this recall became searchable on NHTSA.gov on May 22, 2026.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup .
How this campaign compares
At 51,598 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 89% of the 19,818 vehicle recalls filed since 1995 whose size NHTSA published. The middle campaign on file covers 472. It covers model years 2025 to 2026, so the oldest vehicles on it were one model year old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nissan vehicles have been recalled over the electrical system 29 times before this, most recently in March 2026 as 26V188000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 2 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 42 complaints with NHTSA, 29 of them before this campaign was filed. 7 of those name the electrical system, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in October 2024, 1 year before this filing.
The vehicles on this campaign carry 5 other recalls published here, the newest being: 26V145000 (seats), 26V023000 (latches/locks/linkages), 25V324000 (back over prevention), 25V188000 (equipment).
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
Filed by Nissan North America, Inc. with NHTSA on May 21, 2026 as campaign 26V331000. Every word of the defect, consequence and remedy above is NHTSA's published record of that filing, not a summary of it.
