What U1A01 means

Source: SAE J2012 / OBD-II

U1A01 is a manufacturer-specific code: the second character is a 1, which under the OBD-II standard hands the definition to whoever built the vehicle. The same code can mean one thing on a Ford and something unrelated on a Hyundai. Any site that prints a single definition for it is guessing.

A stored code names the test that failed, never the part that caused it. The record above is what Nissan and its owners have filed about it; the code’s page across every make has the whole file.

Is U1A01 a known problem on Nissan vehicles?

It is a documented one: NHTSA's files hold 7 manufacturer filings and 0 owner reports naming U1A01 on 7 Nissan model years (2018). Whether it is a problem on one particular car is a diagnosis, not a count — but a bulletin that names the code on your model year is the place to start.

2018 Altima (1 document), 2018 Armada (1 document), 2018 Maxima (1 document).

Does U1A01 on a Nissan mean it is recalled?

No. Recalls are filed by campaign and matched by VIN; no recall is triggered by a scan tool. Check the VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or open the model year's page here for the campaigns filed against it.
