Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 7,500 mi; spark plugs at 105,000 mi; coolant at 105,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 105,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

The 2024 Nissan Versa recorded 93 complaints, representing a significant reversal of the downward trend established after the 2012 peak (485 complaints). From 2013 through 2022, complaints steadily declined from 204 to a generational low of 19, with recalls dropping to zero in 2016 and 2022. The 2024 model year breaks this trajectory abruptly—complaints more than doubled from 2023 (37) and are the highest since 2014 (336)—while the 2025 partial-year data shows only 11 complaints, though this likely reflects incomplete reporting. The 2024 data shows one active investigation, one recall, and 16 technical service bulletins, with engine-related complaints (23) and powertrain issues (11) comprising the largest complaint categories. The data does not specify a root cause for the 2024 complaint spike, so whether this reflects a systemic new issue, a batch defect, or other factors cannot be determined from the federal record alone. Crash complaints totaled one and fire complaints were zero for 2024. **Takeaway:** The 2024 Versa sits at an anomalous peak within an otherwise improving complaint trajectory, making it a year to approach with caution; prospective buyers should verify that any specific engine or powertrain concerns identified by the single investigation or ongoing recall have been fully resolved before purchase.
