Vehicles Affected: Approximately 341,000 model-year 2015-17 Nissan Altima sedans
The Problem: The rear door latch/lock cable may have been improperly routed; as a result, lowering a rear window could inadvertently cause the door to unlatch and open, increasing the risk of an injury.
The Fix: Dealers will correct the rear door latch/lock cable routing for free.
What Owners Should Do: Nissan did not immediately provide an owner-notification schedule. Owners can call the automaker at 800-647-7261, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration’s vehicle-safety hotline at 888-327-4236 or go to www.safercar.gov to check their vehicle identification number and learn more.
