Safety score
65/100
Below-average recall-severity risk Lower recall-severity risk than 76% of makes we track.

Nissan scores 65 out of 100 (grade B) for recall severity, which ranks it 11 of 52 makes and better than most brands. The score is the recall-weighted average of its models, so the brands with the most do-not-drive and critical-safety recalls sit at the bottom. How the score works.

In total, NHTSA lists 209 Nissan recall campaigns across 29 models for the 2010-2026 model years. The single largest affected 3,296,947 vehicles. The system recalled most often is the air bags.

A high recall count usually tracks how many cars a brand sells and how long its models have been on the road, not how dangerous they are. The safety score below adjusts for that by weighing how serious and recent each recall is. The table further down breaks every Nissan model out so you can see which ones drive the count.
