Transport Canada recall 2024362 · manufacturer campaign R24A5/R24A7

21 June 2024

Transport Canada lists: M 35 2012–2013 · M 56 2011–2013 · Q 50 2014–2018 · Q 70 2014–2018

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the driveshaft may not have been manufactured properly. As a result, the driveshaft could break and cause a loss of power to the wheels. Additionally, if the vehicle is parked and the parking brake isn't applied, the vehicle could roll away. Note: This recall only affects two-wheel-drive (2WD) models.

Why it matters

A loss of power to the wheels could increase the risk of a crash. A parked vehicle that rolls away could also 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 replace the driveshaft.

Steering

Transport Canada recall 2016296 · manufacturer campaign R1610 / R1611 / R1613

10 June 2016

Transport Canada lists: Q 50 2014–2016

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a combination of low battery voltage at engine start up (~7 volts) and the vehicle being parked with the wheels turned could cause an error in the Direct Adaptive Steering ECU. This could cause the steering wheel to be off centered and the VDC warning lamp to illuminate. If operated this way, this could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update the Direct Adaptive Steering ECU.

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, a defect in the occupant classification system could allow an adult sitting in the front passenger seat to be classified as a child or an “empty seat”. This would suppress the airbag, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash.

What the dealer will do

For affected Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue and Sentra vehicles, dealers will reprogram the airbag control unit and the occupant classification system control unit. For affected Leaf, NV200, Pathfinder, Q50 and JX35/QX60 vehicles, dealers will replace the occupant classification system electronic control unit.

Transport Canada recall 2016123

17 March 2016

Transport Canada lists: Q 50 2014

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the front passenger seat occupant classification system software may incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult. If this occurs, the passenger airbag would be deactivated without the illumination of the airbag warning lamp. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the seat occupant.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reprogram the occupant classification system. This is an expansion of recall 2014-093.

Transport Canada recall 2014416

24 September 2014

Transport Canada lists: Q 50 2014

What is wrong

On certain hybrid vehicles, the transmission housing may have been damaged during manufacturing. This could allow a crack in the housing to form, and could eventually result in a transmission housing fracture, which would result in debris being spread onto the roadway, which could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the transmission assembly if cracks are found during inspection.

23 September 2014

Transport Canada lists: Q 50 2014 · Q 70 2014–2015

What is wrong

On certain hybrid vehicles, a defect in engine control module programming could cause a gradual throttle increase without driver input, which could cause vehicle speed to increase. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update vehicle software. Note: Applying the brake would allow the vehicle to be slowed or stopped.

Transport Canada recall 2014414

23 September 2014

Transport Canada lists: Q 50 2014

What is wrong

On certain hybrid models, an error in communication between the electric motor inverter and the transmission control module could cause the electric motor to stop functioning when the vehicle is operated in electric-only mode, causing a loss of motive power and illuminating the warning lamp. This could increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will update vehicle software.

Steering

Transport Canada recall 2013410

19 November 2013

Transport Canada lists: Q 50 2014

What is wrong

On certain vehicles equipped with Direct Adaptive Steering (steer-by-wire), cold weather operation could cause the system to malfunction on startup, and delay the engagement of the mechanical backup system. This would result in a loss of steering, which would increase the risk of a crash causing injury and/or damage to property.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will reprogram the Direct Adaptive Steering module.
