Check your Vehicle
Your VIN is a unique 17 character serial number that can be found on your vehicle (such as the passenger side door sill) or in documentation (such as registration papers)
This search is provided for information purposes to assist Nissan vehicle owners and should not be solely relied upon. This search tool is available for Nissan vehicles only that are supplied through authorised networks (i.e. it does not include ‘grey imports’). The search results contain the best information currently available to Nissan, please speak to your closest Dealer for further information.
Further Information
Even though your vehicle may not currently be under active recall, it may later be recalled. While Nissan will seek to contact affected Consumers directly at the relevant time, we may be unable to do so if your contact details are not accurate and available to us. To update your contact details please contact your nearest Nissan Dealer.
If your airbag has been replaced by a previous recall, it may still need to be recalled if Nissan determines the replacement was also an Affected Takata Airbag Inflator. This is to ensure long term safety.
If your vehicle has had a frontal airbag replaced following a collision or other incident, any replacement airbag installed in the Vehicle may be faulty and require replacement, please contact a Nissan dealer or other authorised representative to arrange for the airbag to be checked.
