What this recall means for you
Certain 2022 Nissan Pathfinder vehicles have third-row headrests that may have an improper weld or misaligned internal components. This can allow the headrest to move or detach, so the vehicle does not fully meet federal head restraint safety requirements.
Headrests that move or detach may not adequately restrain occupants in a crash, which increases the risk of injury. If you have passengers seated in the third row, this is especially important to address.
Nissan will replace all three third-row seat headrests at no cost at an authorized dealer. Owner notification letters were mailed November 17, 2021, and you can contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
