Nissan Recalls 2015 Armada Vehicles Due to Front Seat Belt Defect

Nissan is recalling 2015 Armada vehicles because front seat belt buckles may not latch or unlatch properly, increasing crash injury risk.

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 safety-critical component (seat belts) where failure increases the risk of injury in a crash or prevents emergency egress, but the source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities, fitting the 'High' criteria for risk-of-harm products without reported injury.

Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain model year 2015 Nissan Armada vehicles manufactured between April 30, 2015, and June 5, 2015. The recall involves 1,554 vehicles that may have been built with driver or front passenger seat belt assemblies that do not properly latch or that do not unlatch when the release button is pressed. These vehicles fail to comply with Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards 208 and 209.

A seat belt that does not properly latch would not restrain a user, increasing the risk of injury in a crash. Conversely, a seat belt that does not properly unlatch may prevent an occupant from quickly exiting the vehicle in an emergency, such as after a crash, which also increases the risk of injury.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect both front seat belt buckle assemblies and replace them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 14, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
