Every Nissan Pulsar recall
Newest first. The concern is the part or system affected, the defect is what can go wrong, and the remedy is what the manufacturer does to put it right.
POSSIBLE REDUCED RETENTION FORCE OF THE REAR DOOR CHILD LOCK SWITCH
R/2020/220, launched 14 August 2020, 299,631 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Juke, Navara, Note, Qashqai
Defect: Possible reduced retention force of the Rear Door Child Lock switch.
Remedy: Fit a countermeasure part into the child lock door switch aperture of all potentially affected vehicles.
REAR OXYGEN SENSOR MAY FAIL
R/2016/157, launched 25 July 2016, 7,393 vehicles affected across the models it covers. Also covers the Juke, Qashqai, X-Trail
Defect: If an electrical short occurs in the supply to the rear oxygen sensor the senor will fail but the driver will not see an immediate warning. A MIL warning may display after continued driving depending on driving/vehicle characteristics.
Remedy: Reprogram the ECU to display a warning if the rear oxygen sensor fails.
HEADLIGHT AUTO LEVELLING SYSTEM MAY MALFUNCTION WHEN VEHICLE IS FULLY LADEN
R/2016/050, launched 24 March 2016, 8,404 vehicles affected across the models it covers
Defect: On affected vehicles with Pulsar headlight auto levelling the initialisation process during production was incorrect. In this condition affected vehicles may not correctly adjust the height of the headlamp aim when the rear of the vehicle is heavily laden and therefore may not comply with the specific regulation requirements
Remedy: Reprogram the Intelligent Power Distribution Module (IPDM) and re-initialise the headlamp auto-levelling system.

What to do next
If you own a Nissan Pulsar, check its registration on GOV.UK and ask a Nissan dealer whether any recall work is outstanding. If you are buying one, ask the seller for proof the work was done, and run a Motoring Insider history check for finance, write-offs and the MOT history.
