NHTSA recall 21V742000
Seats · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2022 Pathfinder vehicles. The third-row headrests may have an improper weld or misaligned internal components, which can allow the headrest to move or detach. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 202, "head restraints."
Why it matters: Headrests that move or detach may not adequately restrain occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Dealers will replace all three third-row seat headrests, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed November 17, 2021.
