Nissan Recalls Check

Find the latest news and information on recent Nissan recalls

A VIN number, or Vehicle Identification Number is a 17-digit number, that serves as the car's unique identity code.
For most vehicles, you can find the VIN on your front driver’s side interior dashboard or the driver’s side door post. Alternatively, you may find it on the vehicle’s insurance and ownership documents. Example: 1N6DD21S71C394126

Buying a used Nissan can be a good deal, but as long as you check Nissan recalls.

Since you are not seen like a recurring client by car dealers and simple sellers, they try to get as much money as they can out from this deal. Often they overlook the car conditions and just restore a few defects here and there to make the car look better. So, some of those shiny cars you saw at the dealer, may be closer to a death machine than to the car of your dreams.

If a vehicle had been recalled, it is likely that it didn’t get a full repair. In 2014, for instance, about every fourth car in America was not adequately repaired.

Let’s say the car in question was recalled, but had an accident before the recall date. In such circumstances the vehicle no longer benefits of a free repair. So, a mindless seller or dealer could choose not to spend all the money necessary to fully restore the car. He just sells it with some defects, hoping that they are not so important and will not be uncovered.

Driving cars like that could be a huge risk because you may never know what could happen to the car when it reaches high speeds. And most important, you may never know what could happen to you.

For all the above mentioned reasons, it is essential to be fully aware of the car’s past.
