Recalls

Good news: Recall repairs are almost always free. Book with any manufacturer dealer and quote the recall number. Transport Canada’s own wording is that a manufacturer “will almost always make these repairs free of charge”, so being asked to pay for recall work is unusual and worth questioning. Since 2018 the Minister of Transport can order a company to pay for repairs so owners do not bear the cost.

Why it matters

Warnings, tell-tales and gauges that don't display could increase the risk of a crash.

Transport Canada lists: Frontier 2025 · Kicks 2025

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a software problem could cause the rearview camera image not to display when the transmission is shifted into reverse.

Why it matters

A rearview camera image that doesn't display could reduce a driver's ability to see behind the vehicle while backing up. This could increase the risk of a crash.

What the dealer will do

Nissan will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the centre information display software.

Transport Canada recall 2025177 · manufacturer campaign PMA42

7 April 2025

Transport Canada lists: Kicks 2025

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the warnings reminding the driver to shift the transmission into Park (P) if the ignition is in the "OFF" position and the gear selector is not in the "P" position may not work. As a result, if the ignition is switched off and the gear selector is not in Park, the vehicle could move suddenly. Note: This recall replaces Transport Canada recall no. 2024-782. Vehicles that were repaired under that recall don't require this repair.

Why it matters

A parked vehicle that moves suddenly could create the risk of an injury or a crash.

What the dealer will do

Nissan will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to update the body control module software.

Label

Transport Canada recall 2025155 · manufacturer campaign PD136 / PMA47

25 March 2025

Transport Canada lists: Kicks 2025

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the compliance label may list the wrong gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) and gross axle weight rating (GAWR) information. This could lead you to overload the vehicle and cause poor handling or a tire failure. Additionally, for certain SR trim models equipped with the optional 19-inch wheel package, the compliance label may list the wrong tire and rim sizes. As a result, when the rims and tires are replaced, the wrong rims and/or tires could be installed.

Why it matters

Poor handling or a tire failure could cause a loss of vehicle control and result in a crash.

What the dealer will do

Nissan will mail a new compliance label to each owner. If you would like help to install it, you can contact a Nissan dealer to have it installed free of charge.

Source: Transport Canada — Vehicle Recalls Database; NRCan — Fuel consumption ratings. Data current as of 6 August 2026. Running cost uses Ontario average prices (155 ¢/L, 14.5 ¢/kWh), which are hand-maintained estimates. These are average residential rates. A car’s charging is added on top of what your home already uses, so on a tiered, time-of-use or subsidised tariff it is billed at your top rate rather than this average — which makes the real cost higher, especially in the territories.
