Recalls & safety campaigns
Campaigns shown here have been manually mapped to this model code from manufacturer records.
Generator-engine blow-by hose recall
Nissan recalled affected Note e-POWER and other vehicles because the protector on the generator-engine blow-by hose was too short, allowing the uncovered hose surface to deteriorate and crack over time.
In the worst case the engine may not start, or the motor may stop while driving and the vehicle may become unable to continue.
Replace the blow-by hose with the countermeasure part that has an extended protector.
Official Nissan recall lists DAA-HE12 Note e-POWER chassis HE12-000043 through HE12-422955, produced 2016-08-25 through 2020-10-06. Nissan notes that some vehicles within the listed chassis range may not be affected; dealer/chassis confirmation is required.

Component-family relationship graph
CarFactBook groups normalized component keys across exact chassis codes, then keeps the relationship evidence level explicit. A shared specification is not treated as fitment approval or interchangeability. Manufacturer-backed relationships can still be engine, grade or production-condition specific.
The exact vehicles share the same normalized documented specification key. This is evidence of a shared specification only.
Not fitment approval or interchangeability. Confirm the exact part, equipment, dimensions and production conditions before purchase.Both sides carry manufacturer-backed cross-reference evidence for the same component key.
This is stronger than a shared specification, but production period, equipment and any stated fitment conditions still control.Both sides explicitly carry CarFactBook-reviewed interchangeable evidence for this component relationship.
Use the exact reviewed relationship and its conditions. Do not generalize interchangeability to sibling chassis codes or other assemblies.This graph is bounded to the reviewed cross-reference results loaded for this exact chassis. CarFactBook never upgrades a relationship because two parts merely look alike or share one dimension; stronger levels require stronger published evidence on both sides.
