Nissan Gtr Safety
NHTSA safety across every Nissan Gtr model year we cover.
Across the 5 model years of the Nissan Gtr we cover (2019 to 2024), no year has an NHTSA crash-test score on record. No recalls are on record across those years.
The Nissan GT-R is a high-performance sports car that has earned a fierce global reputation since its modern revival. Sold in small volumes and aimed squarely at driving enthusiasts who want supercar-level acceleration at a comparatively accessible price, the GT-R occupies a rare niche in the American market. Our safety coverage spans the 2019 through 2024 model years of this twin-turbocharged, all-wheel-drive coupe.
The 2019-2024 Nissan GT-R lacks federal crash-test ratings from NHTSA, leaving its structural safety profile unverified. This absence means no star ratings or a computed Safety Index score are available for assessment. For buyers prioritizing independently confirmed crash protection, this data gap is significant. Despite the lack of crash-test data, the GT-R's federal record is otherwise clear. Across all covered model years, zero recalls have been issued. Owner-reported complaints to NHTSA also stand at zero, with no filings for crashes, fires, injuries, or fatalities. While this clean record presents no red flags, it is important to note that the GT-R sells in extremely low volumes in the United States. This limited market presence inherently reduces the statistical pool for owner complaints and regulatory scrutiny. The zeros in these categories reflect this scarcity as much as an unblemished record.
WHAT REVIEWERS SAYReviewers generally treat the GT-R as a landmark performance machine, praising its explosive acceleration, all-weather all-wheel-drive grip, and surprisingly composed handling for a car of its power output. Most acknowledge that the cabin materials and interior refinement feel dated relative to European rivals at similar price points, and that the ride comfort is firm. Value for the performance delivered is a common point of praise.
- NHTSA has not crash-tested the GT-R in any of the 2019 to 2024 model years we cover, so there are no federal star ratings or Safety Index scores available to guide your purchase decision.
- The GT-R has a clean recall record across all six covered model years, with zero recalls issued by NHTSA during this period.
- Owner complaints filed with NHTSA for these model years total zero, including no reported crashes, fires, injuries, or deaths, though this partly reflects the model's very low US sales volume rather than a large verified sample.
- Because the GT-R sells in small numbers, the federal safety database is thin by nature. Shoppers who prioritize well-documented crash protection should consider that the absence of data is not the same as a positive safety rating.
