There have been recall campaigns that cover CVT-equipped Versa models from around 2014, but whether your specific car is affected depends on its VIN. If the VIN shows an active or past recall, the repair is performed at no cost by a Nissan dealer.
How to verify recall status for a 2014 Versa
To confirm whether your 2014 Versa has an open or past recall related to the transmission, use the following steps:
- Find your vehicle Identification Number (VIN) on the driver’s side dashboard or the door jamb sticker.
- Visit the official recall lookup tools and enter your VIN to see any active or completed recalls.
- Also check Nissan’s own recall page for Versa-specific notices and instructions.
- If a recall is listed for your VIN, contact a Nissan dealer to schedule the repair at no charge.
- Keep documentation of any recall notices and repairs in case you sell the vehicle or need future service.
Completing these steps will tell you whether a recall applies to your car and what to do next. Recall work is typically free, but verification with official sources is essential.
