Newest first. Summaries are NHTSA’s own wording.

  1. NHTSA 05V480000Oct 17, 2005Structure & Body33,042 vehicles

    Seats:mid/rear assembly

    On certain mini vans equipped with a folding third row rear seat, when the third row seat is raised from its stowed position, it engages striker brackets, one on each side of the seat cushion. The fold-away striker loop is welded to a mounting bracket. The striker may become detached from its mounting bracket due to a broken weld at the point of attachment to the bracket.

    Risk: If the third row seat striker weld fails, the striker could separate from the mounting bracket. Striker separation could affect the risk of injury in certain types of crashes.

    Remedy: Dealers will replace the third row seat striker brackets free of charge. The recall began on december 19, 2005. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
