What it saysAutomatic emergency braking warning light blinking this bulletin has been amended. NHTSA’s full summary ↓
Nissan filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Apr 13, 2024, received Jun 7, 2024, about the forward collision avoidance. It names 86 model years (2016–2024). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

What owners reported
Source: NHTSA complaint databaseOwners of the 82 model years this bulletin names have filed 8,144 complaints with NHTSA since 2015. 3,001 of them name Electrical System, Forward Collision Avoidance — 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 2018 Nissan Rogue, the 99 owners who gave an odometer reading for Forward Collision Avoidance reported it at a median of 9,000 miles. That figure is one model year’s, not the whole range this bulletin covers — medians from different model years are not averaged.

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 NTB19-042E 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 NTB19-042E 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 NTB19-042E cover?
The manufacturer filed it against 86 model years: 2024 Nissan Altima, 2021 Nissan Altima, 2020 Nissan Altima, 2019 Nissan Altima, 2024 Nissan Ariya, 2023 Nissan Ariya and more. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
