Notes: Possibility that salts used in winter on highways will form mixture of saltwater and mud which will accumulate on backs of sealed beam headlight units.when wet, the electrical circuit grounds through these deposits may set up anelectrical corrosive action which could result in air entering sealed beamunit, causing failure.(correct by installing rubber protectors.)

Has your Nissan been repaired?

Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A Nissan dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
