What this recall means for you
The rear liftgate hinges on certain 2021 vehicles can separate from the vehicle during a rear-end crash. This means the vehicle does not fully meet federal door retention requirements (FMVSS 206).
If the hinges separate, the liftgate no longer offers its intended protection in a crash, which increases the risk of injury to occupants. Owners should not wait to have this addressed.
The remedy is free: authorized dealers will replace the left and right liftgate hinges at no cost. Owner notification letters were mailed September 7, 2021. You can also contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, and check your VIN for open recalls to confirm whether your vehicle is affected.
