NHTSA recall 17V268000
Seat Belts · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Nissan Titan crew cab and Titan XD crew cab vehicles. In the event of a crash, the rear seatbelt assembly may not adequately protect the occupant's head, allowing it to contact the d-ring bolt trim cap. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (fmvss) number 201, "occupant protection in interior impact."
Why it matters: If the occupant's head contacts the d-ring bolt trim cap during a crash, there is an increased risk of injury.
The fix: 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 September 19, 2017.
