What this means for you

Real risk of harm even if no illness or injury has been reported yet. Stop using the product and follow the agency's guidance.

Our severity reasoning: The recall involves a structural vehicle defect where seat belt anchors may not be secured, creating a risk of injury in a crash, but no injuries or fatalities are reported in the source text.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2014 NV passenger vans manufactured between March 14, 2014, and May 15, 2014. The recall involves vehicles equipped with seat belt retractors from Faurecia Automotive Systems. The defect is that the seat belt retractor bolts on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th row removable seats may not be torqued to the proper specification or may be missing entirely.

If the bolts are not properly secured, the seat belt anchor may not be secured properly. This condition may cause the seat belt to not properly restrain the occupant in the event of a crash, which increases the risk of injury. No specific number of affected units is provided in the source text.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt retractor bolts for proper torque and tighten them if necessary, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
