DATANot crash-tested
NHTSA has not crash-tested the 2021 Nissan GT-R, so this model year carries no Safety Index and no star ratings of any kind. What the federal record does show is a Clean recall and complaint burden band, with zero recalls on file and zero owner complaints reported to NHTSA. That combination reflects an absence of documented federal safety actions for this specific model year, but it does not allow MotorCaliber to characterize the vehicle as safe or unsafe in crash terms.
The 2021 Nissan GT-R was not crash-tested by NHTSA, carries zero recalls, and holds a Clean recall and complaint burden band according to federal NHTSA data.

ANALYSISHow safe is the 2021 Nissan Gtr?
The 2021 Nissan GT-R sits in the Clean burden band, the result of a record showing zero recalls and zero owner complaints in the federal NHTSA database for this specific model year. No recall campaigns have been opened, meaning no safety defect has been formally identified and remedied by Nissan under federal oversight for this year. The absence of complaint filings means the Safety Desk has no reported component patterns to flag, though that absence reflects what owners have submitted to NHTSA rather than a comprehensive engineering assessment. Because NHTSA has not crash-tested this model year and no tested sibling years appear in the federal record we cover, crash-structural performance for the 2021 GT-R remains outside the scope of what MotorCaliber can report.
