Within that volume, owners reported 1 crash, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 fatalities.

Component-level analysis is where model-year complaints become actionable: the top complaint category for the 2018 NV200 is air bags with 2 filings, followed by visibility/wiper (1). Concentration in one or two component groups is the classic signature of a systemic defect; a flat distribution usually reflects normal aging, warranty complaints, or isolated build-plant variability. This model year has 2 active recall campaigns, which means the manufacturer is obligated to remedy the covered defect at no charge for the life of the vehicle — the full NHTSA campaign numbers are listed below.
NHTSA currently has 54 investigation files overlapping the 2018 NV200, and 5 remain open. Owners comparing this cohort against neighboring years should pair the counters above with the complaint-by-year trend on the parent model page — a spike in a single year often tracks to a platform refresh, a new transmission supplier, or an updated ECU calibration.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2021 NV200 Van, 2014-2017, 2019 NV200 Taxi, and 2015-2018 Chevrolet City Express vehicles. The Fuel Tank Temperature (FTT) sensor harness may have been incorrectly routed, damaging wires and causing a short circuit in the fuel pump fuse.
The airbag light is flashing and I have had it checked with a dealer-level scan tool, but it has no codes. I have deduced that there is an issue with one of the weight sensors under the passenger seat and it is not sending a signal. I have confirmed this by noting that the Airbag Off light is luminated when I am sitting in the seat or driving with an adult passenger, so basically it is not sensing that the seat is occupied and therefore the passenger airbag would not go off in a crash even though the seat IS occupied. Is that something that a warranty or a recall should cover, since it is a safety concern involving the airbag system?
OUR COMPANY HAS A 2018 NV 200, A COMMERCIAL VEHICLE WITH 100,000 MILE BUMPER-TO-BUMPER COMMERCIAL NISSAN WARRANTY. THERE ARE ABOUT 58,000 MILES ON THE TRUCK. ON JANUARY, 26, 2021 WHILE DRIVING ON A SMALL RESIDENTIAL ROAD AT 5 MILES AN HOUR, THE PASSENGER SIDE CURTAIN DEPLOYED. THE TRUCK DID NOT HIT ANYTHING AT ALL. OUR TECHNICIAN SAID IT SOUNDED LIKE A GUN WENT OFF. HE COULDN'T SEE ANYTHING. HAD THIS HAPPENED ON THE HIGHWAY, HE CERTAINLY WOULD'VE BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT, POSSIBLY FATAL. I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO WORK WITH NISSAN TO HAVE THEM SIMPLY GIVE US A LOANER TRUCK FOR THE EIGHT WEEKS THAT WILL BE REQUIRED IN ORDER TO DO A THOROUGH INVESTIGATION. I'M NOT TRYING TO CAUSE THEM TROUBLE BUT THEY TOLD ME I AM RESPONSIBLE FOR THE COST OF ANY LOANER TRUCK!!!!!!!. THIS IS THE WORST HANDLING OF A HIGHLY EXPLOSIVE SITUATION (NO PUN INTENDED) THAT I CAN IMAGINE. THEY ALSO SAID IT'S UP TO THEIR DISCRETION TO DECIDE IF I WOULD GET REIMBURSED. FURTHERMORE, THEY SAID I MAY BE SUBJECT TO STORAGE CHARGES
