NHTSA campaign 24V053000: Nissan Murano visibility recall
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024 Murano vehicles. The incorrect primer may have been used on the quarter glass, resulting in the left and right quarter glass detaching from the vehicle.
Consequence: Detached glass panels can become a road hazard, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy per NHTSA (as of 2026-08-27): Dealers will replace both side quarter glass panels, free of charge.
21V402000NHTSA report received May 2021Model years: 2020

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2020 Nissan Murano, INFINITI QX60, 2021 Nissan GT-R, INFINITI QX50, and Q50 vehicles. The front steering knuckle or rear axle housing may have insufficient strength due to improper heat-treatment.
Consequence: The steering knuckle or rear axle could deform upon impact, such as from hitting a curb, resulting in a loss of steering control, or possible wheel separation. Both of these conditions can increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy per NHTSA (as of 2026-08-27): Dealers will inspect and replace the front steering knuckle and rear axle housing, as necessary, free of charge.

NHTSA campaign 21V170000: Nissan Murano steering recall
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2020 Nissan Murano vehicles. The left and/or right-hand transverse link may not have been manufactured correctly, which could result in it separating from the ball joint.
Consequence: Ball joint separation can cause a loss of vehicle control, and increase the risk of a crash.
Remedy per NHTSA (as of 2026-08-27): Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the transverse link's lot codes, and if necessary, replace them and perform a vehicle alignment, free of charge.
19V807000NHTSA report received November 2019Model years: 2016–2018
NHTSA campaign 19V807000: Nissan Murano service brakes recall
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2018 Nissan Murano, 2016-2018 Nissan Maxima, and 2017-2019 Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 vehicles. These vehicles were previously recalled and unrepaired, or inspected and determined to not need a repair, under recall number 18V-601. In addition, this recall expands the previous population. The Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) actuator pumps may allow brake fluid to leak onto an internal circuit board.
Consequence: A brake fluid leak on the circuit board may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy per NHTSA (as of 2026-08-27): Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ABS actuator, free of charge.
19V654000NHTSA report received September 2019Model years: 2018–2019

Additionally included are 2019 Nissan GT-R and Taxi and Infiniti QX50, QX60, Q70, Q70L vehicles.

As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 111, "Rear Visibility."
Consequence: The lack of an image in the back-up camera display increases the risk of a crash.
Remedy per NHTSA (as of 2026-08-27): Nissan will notify owners in phases, having dealers update the back-up camera settings software, free of charge.

Consequence: A brake fluid leak on the circuit board may result in an electrical short, increasing the risk of a fire.
Remedy per NHTSA (as of 2026-08-27): Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the serial number on the ABS actuator, replacing it as necessary, free of charge.

16V244000NHTSA report received April 2016Model years: 2016
NHTSA campaign 16V244000: Nissan Murano air bags recall
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
Consequence: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Remedy per NHTSA (as of 2026-08-27): Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors.
16V193000NHTSA report received April 2016Model years: 2016
NHTSA campaign 16V193000: Nissan Murano service brakes recall
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016 Murano vehicles manufactured December 17, 2015, to February 11, 2016, and 2016 Maxima vehicles manufactured November 25, 2015, to February 12, 2016 and equipped with an antilock braking system (ABS) and Vehicle Dynamic Control (VDC). The ABS actuator may have a damaged O-ring that may result in a lack of brake fluid pressure.
Consequence: Insufficient brake fluid pressure may lengthen the distance needed to stop the vehicle, increasing the risk of a crash.
Remedy per NHTSA (as of 2026-08-27): Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect and replace the ABS actuator, as necessary, free of charge.

Other midsize and three-row SUVs to weigh against the Nissan Murano. Recall counts cover different model-year spans and are not a reliability ranking.
How many recalls does the Nissan Murano have?
As of NHTSA records retrieved 2026-08-27, NHTSA lists 9 recall campaigns for the Nissan Murano, model years 2016–2024. A recall applies to specific VIN ranges, variants, trims or build dates, so a particular vehicle may be affected by all, some, or none of them, and a campaign count is not a reliability ranking. Whether an open recall is a safety risk depends on the campaign, so read the NHTSA entry for the VIN. Each campaign below shows the remedy NHTSA records, which may be a dealer or service-center repair, an over-the-air software update, or, for some campaigns, a repurchase. This page details the most recent campaigns; the full record for any VIN is at nhtsa.gov/recalls.
What should an inspector check on a used Nissan Murano?
Beyond the standard pre-purchase checks, the recall history for this model concentrates in: service brakes, air bags, back over prevention, suspension, steering, visibility. An inspector documents the visible and operational condition of those systems without disassembly; internal parts, software-only issues and whether a recall remedy was performed are VIN-lookup questions, not inspection findings.
Can a pre-purchase inspection tell me whether a Nissan Murano recall was done?
No. Whether a recall repair was performed is recorded against the VIN, so NHTSA's lookup at nhtsa.gov/recalls (or the manufacturer's own) is the authoritative check. Run it before you travel. The inspection covers what a VIN lookup cannot: the physical condition of the vehicle in front of you.
Can you inspect a Nissan Murano at a dealer, a private seller, or out of state?
Yes. The inspector usually travels to the vehicle at the seller's location — a dealer lot or a private seller — and you do not need to be there. Vehicle Inspectors dispatches an independent inspector within 50 miles of any US ZIP code, widening to 150 miles if needed; more remote locations are quoted case by case. You get a photo-documented PDF report in 24–48 hours.
How much does a Nissan Murano pre-purchase inspection cost?
A pre-purchase inspection of a Nissan Murano through Vehicle Inspectors: Bronze $249 · Silver $349 · Gold $449. Your card is saved at booking, not charged. A hold is placed when an inspector schedules, and you are charged after the inspection is completed. If no inspector accepts within 72 hours, the request auto-cancels and nothing is charged.
