What this recall means for you
Some seat belt bracket mounting bolts on the left-rear seat may not have been tightened correctly at the factory. If a bracket is loose, it may break during a crash, so the seat belt could stop restraining the passenger and injury risk increases. The vehicles also do not meet several federal seat and seat belt safety standards.
The fix is free. Dealers will replace the left-rear seat bracket bolts and repair any damaged threads as needed. Owners who received the notification letter dated January 27, 2022 can contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, using recall number PC856.
You can also check your vehicle identification number (VIN) for open recalls on the NHTSA website, and schedule the repair with an authorized Nissan dealer as soon as possible.
