Typical body and structure symptoms owners report

  • Rear windshield glass shatters or explodes on its own while parked or driving, with no impact reported.
  • Driver's seat heating element reportedly shorted out and caused smoke and a fire while the vehicle was being driven.
  • Front driver's seat unintentionally reclined backward at low speeds after shifting into drive, an issue the dealer could not reproduce over roughly 400 miles of test driving.
  • Roof rack seals allow water intrusion that leaves a musty smell and staining on the headliner and A-pillars.
  • Rear-view and backup cameras stop working, which owners tie to a rear wiper grommet or seal defect affecting the AVM control unit.

    Seats:critical fasteners

    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2023 Rogue, Pathfinder, and Infiniti QX60 vehicles. The driver's powered seat may not be fully secured to the seat frame, causing the seat frame welds to detach from the rear inboard seat bracket.

    Risk: An unsecured seat with broken welds may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

    Remedy: Dealers will inspect the driver's seat rail clearance, and if necessary, replace the driver's seat cushion frame, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed June 10, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PC966, PC967.
