The defect
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2012-2017 NV Cargo and NV Passenger Van, 2013-2015 Titan and Armada and 2011-2012 Infiniti QX56 vehicles. Due to a manufacturing issue, the air bag inflator may not function properly or may rupture during deployment.

An inflator rupture may result in metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
The remedy
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front driver air bag inflators, free of charge. The recall began May 7, 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669 or Infiniti customer service at 1-800-662-6200.

EQUIPMENT:OTHER:LABELS

13V645000 · December 24, 2013

The defect
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2014 model year Titan King Cab and Crew Cab pick-up trucks manufactured August 27, 2013, through November 13, 2013. In the affected vehicles, the Tire and Loading Information label overstates the maximum load and passenger carrying capacity of the vehicle. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 110, "Tire Selection and Rims for Passenger Cars."
The risk
If the vehicle is loaded to the capacity stated on the incorrect label, and the tire load capacity is exceeded, the vehicle may experience structural damage to the tire. If this occurs, this may lead to tire failure which could increase the risk of a crash.
The remedy
Nissan will notify owners and will provide owners with a correct label to install, free of charge. The recall is expected to begin on January 21, 2014. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

TONNEAU COVER FLEW OFF BACK OF TRUCK ON BUSY HIGHWAY. CAR COMING BEHIND TRUCK HIT IT, ROLLED AND DID SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE TO THEIR VEHICLE. ALL FOUR CLIPS WERE ON TONNEAU COVER, SO IF ONE CLIP CAME OFF, THE OTHER THREE SHOULD HAVE HELD COVER IN PLACE. SHORTLY AFTER THIS ACCIDENT, I WAS TOLD BY TWO OTHER INDIVIDUALS THAT THE SAME ISSUE HAPPENED WITH THEIR TONNEAU COVER, HOWEVER, NO ACCIDENT OCCURRED. I WAS ALSO TOLD BY ANOTHER INDIVIDUAL THAT THE TRUCK LINER FLEW FROM THE BACK OF THE TRUCK. THERE SHOULD BE SOME TIME OF SAFETY HARNESSES ON THESE TRUCK PARTS. THE BRACKETS THAT WERE USED TO HOLD DOWN THE TONNEAU COVER ON THE NISSAN TITAN WERE NOT USER FRIENDLY, NOR VERY ACCURATE FOR THE DANGERS

Where these numbers come from

A complaint is one owner's account and has not been verified by NHTSA or by us. A vehicle with more complaints is not necessarily worse: models that sold in larger numbers collect more of them. How this is counted.
