RDW NL open-recall prevalence
In the Dutch RDW register, 15.4% of the 9,200 registered Nissan X-Trail cars currently carry at least one open (uncompleted) recall, as of 4 Oct 2026. This is a true EU fleet rate, the strongest market-relevance signal on this page.
EU Safety Gate campaigns
The EU rapid alert system for dangerous non-food products. 10 logged for this model.
10 Jul 2026Passenger carRisk: Injuries. Ref SR/01993/26. The lithium-ion battery controller (LBC) may not provide reliable diagnostic results due to parasitic effects or fluctuations in circuit resistance, which can cause the integrated circuits monitoring the battery cell voltage to incorrectly detect anomalies. As a result, the system may switch to…
25 Jan 2019Passenger carRisk: Injuries. Ref A12/0089/19. A defect in the gas generator of the passenger airbag causes uncontrolled inflation and the release of metal fragments when the airbag is activated. This can cause injury to the occupants of the vehicle.
15 Dec 2017Passenger carRisk: Injuries. Ref A12/1782/17. There is a defect in the gas generator of the passenger airbag. In the event of deployment of the passenger airbag, metal fragments can be released which can cause injury to the occupants.
27 Oct 2017Passenger carRisk: Injuries. Ref A12/1451/17. null In the event of deployment of the passenger airbag, the inflator body of the airbag could shatter and release metal fragments into the vehicle cabin causing injuries to the occupants.
16 Dec 2016Passenger car / pickup truckRisk: Injuries. Ref A12/1685/16. null In the event of the passenger airbag being deployed, the casing of the inflator may burst causing injuries to the passengers.
22 Jul 2016Passenger carsRisk: Environment. Ref A12/0879/16. null The sensor of the rear oxygen sensor might fail and does not set a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) in case of inappropriate content of the exhaust gases. In such cases, the user is not warned through the Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) on the dashboard.
29 Apr 2016Passenger carRisk: Injuries. Ref A12/0509/16. null The outer tube of the gas strut for the rear door may corrode and crack, resulting in the loss of the pressurized gas inside the gas strut. The gas strut would consequently be unable to support the opening of the rear door and could detach from the vehicle during operation of the rear door.
1 May 2015Passenger carRisk: Injuries. Ref A12/0569/15. null A fault in the gas generator of the front passenger airbag can cause uncontrolled inflation when the airbag is activated. Because the ignition pressure is too high, it can damage the airbag housing and cause injury.
26 Apr 2013Passenger carRisk: Injuries. Ref A12/0479/13. null The front passenger airbag inflators may have been manufactured out of specification. This could create excessive pressure within the inflator during airbag deployment and may result in separation of the airbag housing.
26 Oct 2012Passenger carRisk: Fire. Ref A12/1603/12. null The engine bay insulation may have insufficient clearance from the turbocharger. As a result, there is a possible risk of fire in the engine compartment due to overheating of the engine bay insulation due to the high temperature of the turbocharger.

How this compares
Each register is compared on its own with the 60 models we publish an EU recall page for; the registers are never combined into one score. Its 10 EU Safety Gate campaigns are fewer than the median of 17 for this set. Its 23 KBA campaigns are fewer than the median of 34. Its RDW open-recall share is more than the 5.7% median.
Counts across sources are not comparable to each other and are never summed: a Safety Gate alert and a KBA campaign can describe the same defect or different ones. Treat each as one advisory pointer.
Typical mileage for the Nissan X-Trail
Pair these recall signals with the odometer distribution for the model year you are looking at:
Match the campaign’s production dates to the car, then ask the manufacturer or an authorised dealer to check its VIN and confirm whether the repair is complete. A model-level list cannot establish that.
Check one specific Nissan X-Trail before you buy
A recall list is model-level. Enter this car’s VIN to see its decoded details, any available mileage records and clear next steps for checking recall status.
