Nissan has 162 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, including 45 since 2020. The most common recent faults involve doors and latches, steering and airbags. Enter your registration to check your Nissan; you won't usually pay for a recall repair at a franchised Nissan dealer.¹

Nissan has one of the lowest recall rates among major brands in the UK, with 1.71 car recalls per 100,000 cars on the road since 2020, but two recalls cover a lot of cars. The largest door recall in UK records, R/2020/220, fixed a rear door child lock switch that could move to unlocked on the Juke, Navara, Note, Pulsar and Qashqai, covering 299,631 vehicle-records; if you carry children in the back of one of these, check the registration and test the child lock. See door and child lock recalls. More recently, R/2025/424 covers 101,557 third-generation (J12) Qashqai vehicle-records for a fuel pipe that could leak; see fuel leak recalls. The Micra had a driver's seat recall in 2023 (R/2023/095) and the Leaf a vehicle control module software recall (R/2023/215). Nissan's NV400 van shared a 2018 stop-drive steering recall with the Renault Master. Any Nissan dealer can check your VIN.
