- Problem
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Altima vehicles, previously remedied under recall number 17V-040.

- Risk
- If the rear passenger door opens while the vehicle is moving, the rear passengers have an increased risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will secure the latch-lock cables in the correct position using the new remedy procedure, free of charge. The recall began February 5, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7669.

What this recall means for you
A previous repair under an earlier recall was not always done correctly. In the rear passenger door, the door latch-lock cable may not be routed properly, so it can interfere with the window regulator. When the window is lowered, the rear passenger door can unlatch and open without warning.
If the rear passenger door opens while the vehicle is moving, rear passengers face an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and the repair is free at an authorized Nissan dealer. Dealers will secure the latch-lock cables in the correct position using a new remedy procedure. Owners can also call Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7669, and should check their VIN for open recalls.
