What this means for you

Our assessment, not the agency’s: severity 4/5 (Severe).

The hazard poses a serious risk of illness, injury, or structural failure. Stop using the product immediately and contact the manufacturer for a refund or repair.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect (seat latch bolts) that could compromise seat performance in a crash, increasing the risk of injury to occupants.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 Nissan Versa Note vehicles manufactured between April 23, 2013, and July 5, 2013. The recall involves 7,782 vehicles. The defect is that the rear seat latch bolts may have been manufactured incorrectly, which reduces their strength.

If these rear seat latch bolts break, the rear seats may not perform as designed in a crash. This failure increases the risk of injury to back seat occupants.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the rear seat latch bolts free of charge. The recall was expected to begin on August 19, 2013. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
