NHTSA recall 05V480000
Seats · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: 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.
Why it matters: 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.
The fix: Dealers will replace the third row seat striker brackets free of charge. The recall began on December 19, 2005.
