6 safety recalls, most serious first
1. Seats

What could happen: An unsecured seat with broken welds may not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: 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.
