05V480000Received 17 Oct 2005. 33,042 units.
Seats / Mid/Rear Assembly
Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain mini vans equipped with a folding third row rear seat, when the third row seat is raised from its stowed position, it engages striker brackets, one on each side of the seat cushion. The fold-away striker loop is welded to a mounting bracket. The striker may become detached from its mounting bracket due to a broken weld at the point of attachment to the bracket.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
If the third row seat striker weld fails, the striker could separate from the mounting bracket. Striker separation could affect the risk of injury in certain types of crashes.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the third row seat striker brackets free of charge. The recall began on december 19, 2005. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Report filed by NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 19 Dec 2005.
05V474000Received 13 Oct 2005. 109,437 units.
Seats / Mid/Rear Assembly
Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain mini vans, there is a seat adjustment mechanism that contains exposed moving components located at the rear inside edge of the second row seat.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
When the operator attempts seat adjustment, a finger may be pinched in the moving seat adjustment mechanism which could cause an injury.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
On earlier model vehicles built through june 28, 2004, dealers will replace the inboard second row seat adjustment handle, rivet a plastic reinforcement to backside of the existing seat back cover carpeting, install tie-downs and a flange to the inboard side shield. On vehicles produced from june 29, 2004 through september 26, 2005, dealers will rivet a plastic reinforcement to the backside of the existing seat back cover carpeting, install tie-downs and a flange on the inboard side shield. The recall began on december 19, 2005. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Report filed by NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.. Manufacturer campaign number R0504. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 19 Dec 2005.
04V186000Received 16 Apr 2004. 26,000 units.
Latches/Locks/Linkages / Doors / Latch
Defect, in the NHTSA record
On certain minivans equipped with a power sliding door(s), at an ambient temperature below approximately 40 degrees fahrenheit, the actuator for the power sliding door(s) may experience binding due to an out-of-specification condition. In order to open, close or reverse a power sliding door, the shift selector lever must be in "park." if the actuator is experiencing binding and the driver shifts the vehicle out of "park" while a power sliding door is still closing, the door latches may not engage.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This can result in the door coming open unexpectedly upon rapid acceleration, and an occupant could fall out of the door and be injured.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will replace the actuator for the power sliding door(s). Owner notification began on june 23, 2004. Owners should contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Report filed by NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.. Manufacturer campaign number RU401. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 23 Jun 2004.
04V103000Received 1 Mar 2004. 13,757 units.
Air Bags / Frontal / Sensor/Control Module-Inactive
Defect, in the NHTSA record
Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the advanced air bag requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection." the air bag for the front passenger seat is to be turned off (so that it does not inflate) when certain occupants, such as small children, are in the front seat.
Consequence, in the NHTSA record
This reduces the risk of such occupants being unjured by an inflating air bag in a collision.
Remedy, in the NHTSA record
Dealers will inspect the front passenger seat cushion/sensor assembly. If the seat cushion/sensor is found to be operating improperly, the seat will be removed and recalibrated. Owner notification began on june 23, 2004. Owners should contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Report filed by NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.. Manufacturer campaign number B0112. Owner notification date in the NHTSA record: 23 Jun 2004.
