ANALYSISHow safe is the 2021 Nissan Nv200?
The 2021 Nissan NV200 carries a Light recall and complaint burden in MotorCaliber's analysis, placing it at the lower end of the volume spectrum for this model year. This rating is based on one recall and four owner-reported complaints. The single recall specifically addresses the fuel pump control module, a campaign affecting a wide range of NV200 production years. This suggests a potential systemic issue, likely from a supplier or design, identified well after vehicles were in service. Owner complaints, though few, directly echo the recall's concern, citing problems with the fuel and propulsion system. Additionally, separate complaints have been registered regarding the airbags and forward collision avoidance systems. No crash-safety comparisons to sibling years are available in our data. It is important to note that the Light band rating reflects complaint and recall volume, not a direct assessment of crash safety performance.
