2017 Nissan NV200 Taxi

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2017 NV200 Taxi.

Body TRUCKTransmission Automatic (variable gear ratios)

The 2017 Nissan NV200 Taxi is designated as a truck-class commercial vehicle powered by an engine requiring 4.0 quarts of 5W-30 API oil, paired with an automatic transmission utilizing variable gear ratios to achieve EPA ratings of 23 mpg city, 26 mpg highway, and 24 mpg combined. This configuration establishes the specific powertrain and fluid service parameters governing its high-utilization operational envelope. Reliability records indicate minimal owner-reported friction with only seven total complaints documented, yet the concentration of concerns within the Air Bags category alongside two recalls signals that safety-system integrity demands particular scrutiny during routine maintenance protocols.

Prep Measure the diameter of each cylinder head bolt at point A and point B. Point A = 11.00 mm from thread end and point B = 45.00 mm from thread end. If either diameter is less than 0.15 mm Do not reuse old bolts. Use new bolts coated with clean engine oil. Tighten all bolts to finger tight then continue on with the following procedure.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter every 5,000 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 available federal record for the NV200 Taxi is limited, covering only 2017 and 2019, which constrains any trend analysis across the generation; however, the two data points suggest a relatively stable but not problem-free profile. In 2017, the vehicle logged zero formal complaints in the federal database yet carried 2 recalls, 1 open investigation, and 69 technical service bulletins — the highest TSB count in the record — indicating that Nissan was actively addressing a broad range of service issues through dealer-level communications rather than through consumer complaint channels. By 2019, the investigation had closed, recalls held steady at 2, and TSBs declined modestly to 64, suggesting that some of the 2017-era concerns were being resolved over time. The complaint-area breakdown for the target year highlights Air Bags (3 complaints) and Fuel/Propulsion System (2) as the leading categories, with additional issues spanning electrical and engine systems, though the data does not specify root causes for any of these. The 2017 model sits at the front of the available record, meaning it represents the less-mature end of the generation with the highest TSB volume and an active investigation — factors that typically correlate with early-build teething problems. **Takeaway:** the 2017 NV200 Taxi is a marginal purchase; the closed investigation by 2019 and declining TSB count suggest later builds may have benefitted from running improvements, so if you must choose from this sparse dataset, a 2019 model likely carries fewer open service concerns than the 2017.
