Does a recall affect your Nissan Patrol?

Not every Nissan Patrol is affected. Each recall covers cars built on particular dates or with particular VINs, which DVSA’s file does not list in full. To check a specific car, use GOV.UK’s vehicle recall check with its registration, or ask the manufacturer or a dealer, who can check the VIN.

Nissan Patrol recalls by year

Recalls launched each year, 2010 to 2026

2013 had the most, with 2. A count of recalls is not a measure of safety: one recall can cover a handful of cars or tens of thousands.

Every Nissan Patrol recall, newest first

2018 1 recall

A non-dessicated passenger airbag inflator was used during previous recall to replace this component

Launched 17 August 2018 DVSA recall R/2018/100 Manufacturer ref. PG8BA / PS8B0

Defect
In 2013 Nissan announced a Recall campaign to replace Takata SPI front passenger airbag inflators. A non-dessicated passenger airbag inflator was used for the replacement. Although there have been no known incidents associated with inflators of this type Nissan has decided to replace all inflators previously repaired with a non-dessicated inflator to a new dessicated version.
Remedy
Replace the front passenger airbag inflator with a new dessicated type.

2017 2 recalls

Replace airbag inflators checked but not replaced under previous recall R/2015/093

Launched 11 December 2017 DVSA recall R/2017/279 Manufacturer ref. PG7BO PS7B2 R1723

Defect
The air bag inflators on affected vehicles were previously checked and deemed to be serviceable. As a precautionary measure the manufacturer has decided to replace them with new assemblies.
Remedy
On affected vehicles replace air bag assembly.

Airbag may fail

Launched 26 June 2017 DVSA recall R/2017/039

Defect
The airbag manufacturer have informed Nissan of a potential concern with propellant degradation of Front Passenger Airbag fitted with Smokeless Passenger Inflator (SPI). It has been confirmed that this degradation is a function of time temperature and environmental moisture. Deterioration of the Inflator propellant may under certain usage conditions lead to abnormal deployment of the Passenger Airbag. In an extreme situation this condition could create excessive pressure within the inflator during airbag deployment and may result in separation of the airbag housing.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles to replace the front passenger airbag module with a new quality controlled item.

2015 1 recall

Passenger side airbag may fail to deploy correctly

Launched 16 November 2015 DVSA recall R/2015/093

Defect
The manufacturer has identified that a potential air leak at the passenger airbag inflators which may allow moisture to enter the airbag inflator causing the propellant in the inflator units to deteriorate. Deterioration of the propellant may lead to abnormal deployment of the passenger airbag. In an extreme situation this may result in separation of the airbag housing during deployment causing injury to occupants.
Remedy
Inspect air bag assembly and where required replace air bag inflator

2013 2 recalls

Engine may stall

Launched 4 November 2013 DVSA recall R/2013/109 Manufacturer ref. R1306

Defect
It has been identified that the accelerator pedal position sensor located in the accelerator pedal assembly may provide an incorrect signal due to sensor terminal wear. If this occurs the ECM will detect the sensor failure and illuminate the engine management waning lamp on the dash. It will also control and` limit vehicle acceleration. However in extreme case if this situation occurs and there is excessive dust in the throttle valve which could affect the amount of intake air then the engine could stall at idle speed.
Remedy
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the throttle pedal assembly.
Vehicles affected
113 Patrol vehicles

Passenger side airbag may fail to deploy correctly

Launched 22 April 2013 DVSA recall R/2013/050 Manufacturer ref. PG3B7 / PS3B2

Defect
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.
Vehicles affected

19 Feb 2001 to 25 Dec 2003

2010 1 recall

If deployed the airbag may endanger passenger

Launched 14 July 2010 DVSA recall R/2010/077 Manufacturer ref. R1020

Defect
The combustion rate of the airbag propellant may be too fast causing excessive internal pressure in the inflator during airbag deployment. In an extreme case the inflator casing may rupture leading to a scattering of metal fragments.
Remedy
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front passenger airbag assembly.

January 1992 to September 2026 7 recalls matched to this model 15 September 2026
  • Road vehicle recalls (DVSA numbers starting R/) whose model names match the Nissan Patrol. DVSA records some recalls under a range or chassis name we cannot match, so this list may be incomplete.
  • Vehicles affected is the number the manufacturer reported to DVSA. When one recall covers several models, DVSA often gives only the total.
  • Build dates are the periods the manufacturer gave. Some recalls have none. VINs are not shown.
  • Concerns written in capitals have been put in sentence case, and apostrophes lost in DVSA’s file have been put back. The text is otherwise DVSA’s.
