4. Fuel system

5. Seats

What's wrong, in plain English: Seat frames, adjusters or child-seat anchors. The second-row upper tether wires may have been improperly welded to the seatback frame, preventing a child seat from being securely anchored. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, "Child Restraint Anchorage Systems."

What could happen: An insecurely anchored child seat can move during a sudden stop or crash, increasing the risk of injury.

6. Backup camera — software update

What's wrong, in plain English: The rear camera may not show an image when reversing. When the Sirius XM subscription is set to "Not Subscribed," it may cause the infotainment head unit to reboot, resulting in an inoperative rearview camera. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 111, "Rear Visibility."

What could happen: An inoperative rearview camera display reduces the driver's rear visibility, increasing the risk of a crash.

The fix: The Infotainment system software will be updated by a dealer, or through an over-the-air (OTA) update, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed July 29, 2022.

7. Seat belts

What's wrong, in plain English: Seat belts may not hold you in a crash. The rear seat belts for the left-hand and right-hand rear seats may not retract properly. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 208, "Occupant Crash Protection," and 209, "Seatbelt Assemblies."

What could happen: Seat belts that do not retract properly may be difficult to operate, preventing their usage, which can increase the risk of injury in a crash.

The fix: Dealers will inspect and replace the rear seat belts, as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters are expected to be mailed October 27, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall is PC915.

8. Backup camera — software update

What's wrong, in plain English: The rear camera may not show an image when reversing.
