Recall campaigns 6 of 11

22V4200002022-06-13

LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES:HOOD:LATCH

An unsecured hood could unexpectedly open while driving, obstructing the driver's view, and increasing the risk of a crash.

21V0200002021-01-20

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

Continual illumination of the brake lights can prevent other drivers from realizing the vehicle is actually slowing down, increasing the risk of a crash. With the brake override activated, the driver will not be able to accelerate normally, increasing the risk of a crash. The driver can shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, allowing the vehicle to rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.

16V3800002016-05-31

EXTERIOR LIGHTING:BRAKE LIGHTS:SWITCH

If the brake override is activated, the driver will not be accelerate normally, increasing the risk of a crash. If the brake lights remain illuminated, other drivers may fail to stop when the vehicle actually brakes, increasing the risk of a crash. If the driver inadvertently shift the vehicle out of the "PARK" position without depressing the brake, the vehicle may rollaway, increasing the risk of injury.

16V2440002016-04-26

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION

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.

15V6810002015-10-20

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

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.

15V0330002015-01-26

STRUCTURE:BODY:HOOD:HINGE AND ATTACHMENTS

If the primary hood latch is released and the secondary latch fails during operation of the vehicle, it could cause the hood to open during vehicle operation impairing the driver's vision, increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.

This page is about a model, not a car

Two 2014 NISSAN PATHFINDERs can have entirely different histories, and a recall campaign usually covers a build-date window rather than a whole model year — which a VIN does not encode, so only the door-jamb label settles it. Scanning the VIN adds the decode, the crash tests, the fuel economy and the complaints matched to that exact engine, trim and assembly plant.
