What this recall means for you

If a seat back separates, it may not adequately restrain occupants during a crash, which increases the risk of injury. Owners should take this recall seriously, especially if children or passengers regularly ride in the second row.

The repair is free. Dealers will inspect the second-row seat assemblies and replace them as necessary. Nissan mailed owner notification letters on November 17, 2021, and owners can contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
