Recalls: Nissan J12 Qashqai
2022–2024 Nissan J12 Qashqai with ICE (internal combustion engine): incorrectly assembled wiring harness
In March 2025, recall campaign PG4C9 was issued for 2022–2024 Nissan J12 Qashqai vehicles that had internal combustion engines. Due to a manufacturing defect, the wiring harness near the 12-volt battery may have been incorrectly assembled. As a result, the wiring harness retaining nut could become loose and increase electrical resistance – this could lead to a vehicle fire. A vehicle fire could increase the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and/or damage to property. To fix, an authorised Nissan dealer was to tighten the wiring harness connections to the correct specifications. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-006308.
2023 Nissan J12 Qashqai e-POWER: battery management system software may cause loss of motive power
In April 2025, recall campaign R24C8 was issued for 2023 Nissan J12 Qashqai e-POWER vehicles. Due to incorrect Battery Management System (BMS) software calibration, the calculated battery state of charge may rapidly fluctuate. This could cause the vehicle to enter “limp home” mode, potentially resulting in a loss of motive power whilst driving and an inability to restart the engine. A loss of motive power could increase the risk of a collision and injury to vehicle occupants and other road users. To fix, an authorised Nissan dealer was to reprogram the BMS software. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-006324.
2022-24 Nissan J12 Qashqai: fuel leak and potential fire hazard
In October 2025, recall campaign PG5C6 was issued for 2022-24 Nissan J12 Qashqai vehicles that had 1.3-litre turbocharged petrol engines. Due to a manufacturing defect, the fuel pipe may chafe against the support bracket. This could cause a fuel leak and, potentially, a loss of motive power whilst driving. A fuel leak, combined with an external ignition source, could also cause a vehicle fire. These conditions increased the risk of injury to vehicle occupants, other road users and bystanders, and posed a risk to property. For the VINs of the recalled vehicles, please see REC-006450.
