Nissan X-Trail Recalls In The UK: Every Safety Recall By Year And Build Date, And What To Do

The Nissan X-Trail has 19 UK safety recalls in DVSA records, 3 of them since 2020. The most common faults involve airbags and other airbag inflators. Enter your registration to see which apply to your car; you won't usually pay for a recall repair.¹

The current Nissan X-Trail (T33), on sale since 2022, has had its first significant recall in 2026: R/2026/265 covers 21,835 X-Trails for the lithium-ion battery used by the e-Power and mild hybrid systems. Follow any advice in the letter until the repair is done; see electric car recalls. The T33 also had two small 2025 recalls for the adaptive LED headlights (R/2025/051) and intelligent speed assistance (R/2025/052). Older X-Trails have a longer history, with recalls arriving years after the cars were built. Airbags are the most common type of X-Trail recall overall, including passenger airbag inflators replaced in R/2015/093 and R/2017/279, the second of which replaced inflators that had been checked but not replaced earlier. First-generation X-Trails were part of a 2003 engine stall recall (R/2003/170). If you own an X-Trail from before 2014, check the registration even if it has been clear before. Any Nissan dealer can confirm by VIN.
