Recall work is done by the manufacturer, and GOV.UK says you will not usually have to pay for it. These are the 12 DVSA recalls for the X-Trail, newest first. They do not tell you whether this particular car has had the work: for that, put the registration into the free GOV.UK MOT history check, which shows a recall status where the manufacturer shares it, or ask a franchised dealer to check the VIN.

X-TRAIL T33 Lithium Ion Battery
For affected vehicles the lithium-ion battery controller (LBC) on some X-Trail (T33) vehicles may not properly maintain diagnostic robustness. It has been found that these ICs may misdiagnose abnormalities and as a result the system may enter fail-safe mode during driving which restricts motor output and prohibits charging. Under certain conditions a loss of motive power may occur and the vehicle may stop while driving due to the loss of propulsion.

XTRAIL (T33) Adaptive LED Headlight
On affected vehicles the Adaptive LED Headlight (ALH) configuration may be out of specification. In this condition the ALH may not function as intended and alternate between high and low beam mode despite the presence of other vehicles.
Put right by: Update the adaptive LED headlights (ALH) control module software configuration with revised parameters.

XTRAIL (T33) Intelligent Speed Assistance
For certain vehicles due to incorrect software calibration the Intelligent Speed Assistance may not behave as intended.
Put right by: Reconfigure the associated control units to address the issue.

A non-dessicated passenger airbag inflator was used during previous recall to replace this component
In 2013 Nissan announced a Recall campaign to replace Takata SPI front passenger airbag inflators. A non-dessicated passenger airbag inflator was used for the replacement. Although there have been no known incidents associated with inflators of this type Nissan has decided to replace all inflators previously repaired with a non-dessicated inflator to a new dessicated version.
Put right by: Replace the front passenger airbag inflator with a new dessicated type.

🏛️ December 2017Cars built January 2004 to November 2012
Replace airbag inflators checked but not replaced under previous recall r/2015/093
The air bag inflators on affected vehicles were previously checked and deemed to be serviceable. As a precautionary measure the manufacturer has decided to replace them with new assemblies.
Put right by: On affected vehicles replace air bag assembly.
DVSA R/2017/27939,318 vehicles affected in the UK
🏛️ June 2017Cars built June 2000 to August 2001
Airbag may fail
The airbag manufacturer have informed Nissan of a potential concern with propellant degradation of Front Passenger Airbag fitted with Smokeless Passenger Inflator (SPI). It has been confirmed that this degradation is a function of time temperature and environmental moisture. Deterioration of the Inflator propellant may under certain usage conditions lead to abnormal deployment of the Passenger Airbag. In an extreme situation this condition could create excessive pressure within the inflator during airbag deployment and may result in separation of the airbag housing.
Put right by: Recall all affected vehicles to replace the front passenger airbag module with a new quality controlled item.
DVSA R/2017/0399 vehicles affected in the UK
🏛️ August 2016Cars built April 2014 to December 2015
Back doors / hatchback may be unsupported when open
The paint coating applied to the back door gas stay does not comply with the design requirement for anti-corrosion. Therefore the outer tube of the gas stay may corrode and crack resulting in the loss of the pressurised gas inside the gas stay. In this condition the gas stay would be unable to support the opening of the back door allowing it to drop on the vehicle user.
Put right by: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the back door gas stay.
DVSA R/2016/0814,377 vehicles affected in the UK
🏛️ July 2016Cars built April 2015 to June 2016
Rear oxygen sensor may fail
If an electrical short occurs in the supply to the rear oxygen sensor the senor will fail but the driver will not see an immediate warning. A MIL warning may display after continued driving depending on driving/vehicle characteristics.
Put right by: Reprogram the ECU to display a warning if the rear oxygen sensor fails.
DVSA R/2016/1577,393 vehicles affected in the UK
🏛️ November 2015Cars built January 2004 to March 2007
Passenger side airbag may fail to deploy correctly
The manufacturer has identified that a potential air leak at the passenger airbag inflators which may allow moisture to enter the airbag inflator causing the propellant in the inflator units to deteriorate. Deterioration of the propellant may lead to abnormal deployment of the passenger airbag. In an extreme situation this may result in separation of the airbag housing during deployment causing injury to occupants.
Put right by: Inspect air bag assembly and where required replace air bag inflator
DVSA R/2015/09399,525 vehicles affected in the UK
🏛️ April 2013Cars built July 2001 to December 2003
Passenger side airbag may fail to deploy correctly
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
Put right by: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.
DVSA R/2013/050118,016 vehicles affected in the UK
🏛️ October 2012Cars built December 2006 to April 2012
Engine insulation may rest on turbocharger
The engine bay insulation for right hand drive vehicles equipped with 2.0 l diesel engine (M9R) engine may have insufficient clearance from the turbocharger. In extreme cases this may cause the insulation to smoulder due to the high temperature of the turbocharger.
Put right by: Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit an additional bracket to position the engine bay insulation away from the turbocharger.
DVSA R/2012/10514,025 vehicles affected in the UK
🏛️ January 2012Cars built August 2010 to August 2011
Power steering assistance may fail
It has been established that the casting for the heat sink on the Electric Power Steering (EPS) control unit may be out of specification. In extreme cases this can cause a failure of the EPS motor which will illuminate a warning light on the dash. Whilst directional control is not affected it is possible that the driver will experience a sudden loss of power assistance.
Put right by: Recall all affect vehicles and replace the EPS control unit.
