Nissan Nv200
2013–2021
NHTSA has 12 open investigations on this vehicle right now.
Data Availability
Milemark has classified only 39 NHTSA complaints for the 2013–2021 Nissan NV200. This small sample means complaint patterns may not represent the broader ownership experience. The NV200 is a commercial van with lower sales volume than consumer vehicles, so limited complaint data is expected. However, we can draw insights from recalls, technical service bulletins, and 12 open NHTSA investigations.
What We Know From Recalls
One recall campaign addresses the fuel pump control module, matching the second-most-common complaint category (fuel pump issues at a median 111,852 miles). This suggests documented fuel system concerns.
Warranty Extensions and Technical Bulletins
The NV200 has accumulated 141 technical service bulletins—an unusually high number suggesting Nissan has documented numerous technical issues requiring dealer fixes. Without detailed TSB analysis, we cannot specify failure modes, but this bulletin volume warrants attention during pre-purchase inspection.
Owner Watch-Outs
Nearly half of complaints involve airbag/restraint systems (18 of 39), with some severe outcomes reported. Twelve open NHTSA investigations indicate ongoing regulatory scrutiny. These data points suggest potential safety-system concerns worth investigating.
How to Research Further
Request a comprehensive pre-purchase inspection focusing on airbag warning lights, fuel system function, and TSB history. Check NV200-specific forums for commercial fleet experiences and verify this VIN's recall completion status.

Trends
Complaint trends by era
← All yearsClick a window below to see complaint data scoped to just those years.
2013–2017 models account for the most complaints on record — 74% of 39 classified.
Year-over-year complaint volume
Complaints filed per individual model year, not blended into 5-year bands like the chart above — hover a bar for exact numbers. Recent model years show fewer complaints mainly because they've been on the road less time.
5-year windows, not manufacturer generations — this database doesn't have reliable platform/redesign data to draw real generation boundaries from. Recent model years show fewer complaints mainly because they have been on the road less time, not necessarily because they're more reliable — read this as complaint volume and mix by era, not a reliability trend.
