Nissan Recalls
Check open Nissan recalls by VIN. CheckMyVIN queries NHTSA's live recall API on every lookup — no stale snapshots, no signup.
How Nissan recall lookups work
When you enter a Nissan VIN, CheckMyVIN first decodes the vehicle (make, model, model year) against NHTSA VPIC. Those three fields are then sent to the NHTSA recallsByVehicle API, which returns every open campaign on file. Each result shows the official NHTSA campaign number (format: two-digit year, "V" for vehicle, six-digit sequence — e.g. 19V472000), the affected component, a paraphrased plain-English summary, and the dealer remedy. Nissan dealers perform recall work at no charge regardless of who currently owns the vehicle.
Why check Nissan recalls before buying used?
A used-car dealer is not required to complete open recalls before sale in most US states. Run the VIN before the test drive — if a recall is open, you can either ask the dealer to complete it before delivery, negotiate the price, or schedule the free fix at a Nissan authorized dealer after purchase.
Notable past Nissan recall campaigns
A few well-documented campaigns to show the kind of data CheckMyVIN surfaces per VIN. Click any campaign number for the full record on nhtsa.gov. Summaries below paraphrase the official NHTSA records — verify against the source for the authoritative wording.
NHTSA campaign 20V315000
Latches/locks/linkages: hood latch
2013-2018 Nissan Altima
On these Altimas the secondary hood latch can corrode and bind in the unlatched position; if the primary latch is then released inadvertently, the hood can fly open while driving and block the driver's view, raising crash risk. Dealers install a stronger release spring, a warning label, and other fixes at no charge.
NHTSA campaign 22V875000
Electrical system: wiring (dash side harness)
2017 Nissan Rogue
Water can leak into and corrode the dash-side wiring-harness connector, which increases the risk of a fire. Dealers inspect and repair or reroute/seal the affected harness connection at no charge. Confirm this campaign is closed on an affected used Rogue.

What CheckMyVIN does not do
Some recalls are VIN-specific within a model year — only certain build dates or option packages are affected. NHTSA's public API returns the campaign for the year/make/model; for the final "is my exact VIN affected" answer, Nissan also publishes a VIN-specific lookup on their owners site, and you can search any campaign number on the NHTSA recall portal. CheckMyVIN cites every campaign by its official number so you can verify independently.
