The summary is NHTSA’s abstract of the document, as filed under 49 CFR 579.5. One communication is usually filed as several documents — the bulletin, a dealer notice, an owner letter — and the number on any of them finds this page. A PDF link is shown only once NHTSA’s own server has been seen to serve that document; the rest are checked over the following nights. Quote the number at a service desk; it is what the dealer’s system is keyed on.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 168 model years this bulletin names have filed 12,756 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 135 of them name Structure — the same broad component group this bulletin is filed under. NHTSA groups complaints coarsely, so that means the same area of the vehicle, not necessarily the same fault.
On the 2016 Nissan Altima, the 20 owners who gave an odometer reading for Structure reported it at a median of 31,500 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.

I was at a signal and waiting for yield to turn left and at the turning the driver side mirror objected the view and completely missed a walker crossing the road until she was almost head on..diagonal left views from…
2017 Nissan Maxima · Structure · filed with NHTSA Jul 13, 2018 · ODI 11111126
There are serious design flaws on the 2018 Nissan Versa that allow water (i.e rain) to collect below the windshield and when the collected water doesn't drain it floods the car on the front passenger side. There is a water gutter under the windshield wipers that runs from each side of the car. It has two very small drains on each side.

The contact owns a 2023 Nissan Z. The contact stated that while her son was driving at an undisclosed speed, upon coming to an abrupt stop, the hood suddenly popped open; obstructing the driver's view, prompting him to pull over to the shoulder of the roadway. The message "Collision Detected - Pop-up Activators Deployed" was displayed.
2023 Nissan Z · Structure · filed with NHTSA Nov 6, 2024 · ODI 11623890
A complaint is one owner’s account, not a defect finding, and a bulletin is not a recall. Nothing here says this bulletin was issued because of these complaints, or that the repair it describes fixed them. Complaint files on this site begin in 2015.

Common questions
Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5Is Nissan NTB09-131C a recall?
No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.
Is the NTB09-131C repair free?
Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.
Which vehicles does NTB09-131C cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 183 model years: 2020 Nissan 370Z, 2019 Nissan 370Z, 2018 Nissan 370Z, 2017 Nissan 370Z, 2016 Nissan 370Z, 2026 Nissan Altima and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
