Plain-English summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling certain 2016 Nissan Titan XD Crew Cab and 2017 Nissan Titan Crew Cab vehicles. The recall involves a defect in the rear seatbelt assembly where, in the event of a crash, the assembly may not adequately protect the occupant's head. This allows the head to contact the D-ring bolt trim cap, causing the vehicles to fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, "Occupant Protection in Interior Impact."

If an occupant's head contacts the D-ring bolt trim cap during a crash, there is an increased risk of injury. The source text does not report any specific injuries or fatalities associated with this defect.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install energy-absorbing material to the C-Pillar Finishers and replace the Seatbelt Bolt and Bolt Cap free of charge. The recall began on September 19, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261 or the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236.
