2020 Nissan Nv200 Safety Report

The 2020 Nissan NV200 has a remarkably clean safety record based on available NHTSA data, with 0 total complaints, 0 crashes, 0 fires, 0 injuries, and 0 deaths reported. This suggests a very low incidence of owner-reported safety issues. However, it's important to note that the vehicle has not undergone formal crash testing by NHTSA, resulting in 'N/A' ratings for Overall, Frontal, Side, and Rollover safety. This lack of crash test data means its performance in real-world collision scenarios is unquantified by NHTSA. The primary safety concern identified is a single recall (NHTSA Campaign Number 20V-779) related to the 'FUEL SYSTEM, GASOLINE:DELIVERY:FUEL PUMP:CONTROL/DRIVE MODULE'. This recall affects a broad range of NV200 models from 2013-2021. The specific issue involves the Fuel Tank Temperature (FTT) sensor harness, which, if faulty, can lead to a blown fuel pump fuse. The consequence of this is an engine stall, which significantly increases the risk of a crash. While this is a serious potential defect, it is a known issue being addressed by Nissan through the recall process. Given the absence of owner-reported complaints and crash data, the overall safety picture is dominated by the recall. Owners should ensure this recall has been addressed. The lack of crash test ratings prevents a comprehensive assessment of its passive safety performance in collisions, but the active safety record (based on complaints) appears excellent.

Our recommendation: Given the absence of owner complaints and only one recall, the 2020 Nissan NV200 appears reliable; ensure the fuel system recall (20V-779) has been completed, and be aware of the lack of NHTSA crash test ratings.
