Fitment & sizes

Replacement part sizes and factory part numbers — battery, bulbs, filters and belts.

From the factory this vehicle uses OE oil filter 1520865F0E. Note the factory front wiper blades is now discontinued — plan on a superseded or quality aftermarket equivalent, which the part pages below list where known. Each part links to every other vehicle that shares it, so a part you already stock may fit more of your fleet than you'd expect.

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 2025 Nissan Versa sits at the low end of a generation-long downward trend in federal filings, with just 11 complaints, zero recalls, zero investigations, and only two TSBs—figures dramatically lower than the model’s early years, which saw annual complaints in the hundreds and as many as 11 recalls. After a brief reversal in 2024 when complaints climbed to 93 and one recall was issued, the 2025 model year drops back to near-trough levels last seen in 2022, suggesting that spike did not carry forward. Across the entire run, complaints and recalls have generally declined from the 2007–2012 highs, and 2025 represents one of the quietest entries in that record. The top complaint areas for 2025—power train, forward collision avoidance, and engine—each register only two filings, while crash and fire complaints remain minimal at two and zero respectively, though the data does not specify root causes. Given this near-bottom federal footprint, the 2025 Versa looks like a comparatively low-risk used-car choice within its lineage, provided buyers remember that its youth means the record may still be maturing.
