NISSAN / QUEST / 2004-2005
Manufacturer : NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID Number : 05V480000
Mfg's Report Date : OCT 11, 2005
Component: SEATS:MID/REAR ASSEMBLY
Potential Number Of Units Affected : 33042
Summary: 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 foldaway 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: 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: Dealers will replace the third row seat striker brackets. The recall is expected to begin on December 15, 2005. Owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Notes: Customers can also contact the national highway traffic safety administration’s vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safecar.gov.
