2019 NISSAN ALTIMA — Complaint #1885970
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about STRUCTURE:BODY:BUMPERS:ACTIVE SHUTTERS/GRILL filed April 6, 2023
NHTSA complaint #1885970 (ODI reference 11515878) concerns a 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA and was filed on April 6, 2023. The owner reports the failure occurred on April 6, 2023. The report was geocoded to Tennessee based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as structure:body:bumpers:active shutters/grill, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: no, fire: no, injuries: 0, fatalities: 0. No crash, fire, or fatality was associated with this report, which places it in the early-warning stream rather than the priority-review stream. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN ALTIMA cohort independently describe similar structure:body:bumpers:active shutters/grill failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2019 NISSAN ALTIMA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
