Recall 15V453 covers 6,595 2015 Nissan Sentra, Versa Note, and Rogue vehicles with faulty door latches. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
Nissan is recalling 6,595 2015 Sentra, Versa Note, and Rogue vehicles because the driver-side front and rear doors can fail to fully latch. A door that opens while the vehicle is moving can distract the driver, increase crash risk, and put an unbelted occupant at risk of falling out; the Nissan dealer repair will be free once available.

What's wrong?
The driver side front and rear door latches on the 2015 Nissan Sentra, Versa Note, and Rogue are the locking mechanisms that hold each door closed after it meets the body striker. When the door shuts correctly, the latch catches and stays locked so the door remains secured during normal driving.
On affected vehicles, the latch on the driver side front or rear door does not fully engage. The door can look closed while the latch has not reached its fully secured position. That is why the recall ties the defect to the federal door-lock and door-retention standard, FMVSS number 206.
There is no warning sign before failure. Check whether the driver side doors close firmly and stay shut, but do not treat a normal-sounding close as proof that the VIN is clear.
Who's affected?
Includes the Sentra, Versa Note, and Rogue from the 2015 model year, all tied to the same latches, locks, and linkages component.
| 2015 Nissan Sentra | Latches/locks/linkages |
|---|---|
| 2015 Nissan Versa Note | Latches/locks/linkages |
| 2015 Nissan Rogue | Latches/locks/linkages |
| Units affected | 6,595 |
The year and model narrow the scope, but the VIN decides. Check your VIN to confirm whether your specific vehicle is included.
What's the safety risk?
If a door latch is affected, the door can open while the car is moving. That can distract the driver and increase crash risk. An unbelted occupant can fall out and be injured. Make sure every occupant is buckled, close each door firmly, and contact a Nissan dealer for repair timing. Repair will be free at any franchised Nissan dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2015 Nissan Sentra, Versa Note, or Rogue is included in this recall.
- Contact a franchised Nissan dealer to schedule the free door-latch inspection and replacement that fixes driver-side doors that do not fully latch.
- Bring the Nissan owner notice if you have it. If not, reference recall number 15V453 when you call.
- Keep all occupants buckled and confirm the driver-side front and rear doors are fully latched before driving until the repair is complete.
What happens at the repair
At the dealer, a Nissan technician inspects the left front and rear door latches on the driver side. The inspection checks the date, lot number, and cavity code on each latch. If the latch is part of the recalled group, the technician replaces it. Nissan's recall remedy began on August 31, 2015, and the dealer repair is free under the recall. Parts and labor are covered. Nissan customer service is listed at 1-800-647-7261 for owner questions about the campaign.
