The affected vehicles were manufactured from Feb. 3 through May 26, 2012, (check your vehicle’s build date on a sticker on the driver-side doorjamb) and have a rear seatback that could become unsecured due to an improper weld. This could lead to an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify owners later this month, and dealers will replace the affected parts free of charge. Owners can call Nissan at 800-647-7261 or NHTSA’s vehicle safety hotline at 888-327-4236 for more info.
