Nissan Seat Recalls Involving Loose Frames, Headrests, and Child Anchors
Nissan's seat recalls repeatedly concern welds and attachments that may compromise occupant restraint during a crash. The 2022 Pathfinder appears most often, with separate notices covering third-row headrests, a missing second-row seat-track mounting bolt, and insufficient second-row seatback welds. The 2023 Pathfinder and Rogue share a driver's powered-seat attachment problem with the 2023 Infiniti QX60. Other notices concern improperly welded child-seat tether wires in the 2021 Rogue, an unsecured driver's seat frame in the 2025 Sentra, and insufficiently welded front-seat hook brackets in certain 2026 Kicks and Sentra vehicles. These defects affect different seating positions and require recall-specific repairs.
Warning signs to watch for
- The notices for these recalls do not describe any warning sign an owner would notice.
Can you keep driving? What the notices say
The notices do not tell owners to stop driving for the 2022 Pathfinder third-row headrest or second-row seatback recalls, the 2022 Pathfinder and QX60 seat-track bolt recall, or the 2023 Rogue, Pathfinder, and QX60 driver's seat weld recall. The notices also do not tell owners to stop driving for the 2025 Sentra driver's seat frame recall, the 2026 Kicks and Sentra front-seat frame recall, or the 2021 Rogue child-seat anchor recall. None of these notices gives a park-outside instruction.
What the free repair involves
Repairs are free. Dealers replace Pathfinder third-row headrests; inspect second-row seat tracks and install bolts as necessary; inspect seatback assemblies and replace as necessary. Other recalls specify conditional replacement of the 2023 driver's seat cushion frame, 2025 Sentra lower seat frame, or 2021 Rogue rear seatbacks. The 2026 Kicks and Sentra recall specifies front-seat assembly replacement.

Common questions
Which Nissan Pathfinder seating positions appear in these recalls?
The 2022 Pathfinder notices cover third-row headrests, a second-row seat-track mounting bolt, and second-row seatback welds. A separate notice covers the driver's powered seat in certain 2023 Pathfinders, where seat-frame welds may detach from the rear inboard seat bracket.
What is the child-seat anchor problem in the Nissan Rogue?
Recall PC812 concerns certain 2021 Rogues whose second-row upper tether wires may be improperly welded to the seatback frame. This can prevent secure child-seat anchoring. Dealers inspect and replace the rear seatbacks as necessary, free of charge.
Are the Sentra seat repairs the same for 2025 and 2026?
The 2025 Sentra notice specifies inspection and replacement of the driver's side lower seat frame assembly as necessary. The notice covering certain 2026 Sentra and Kicks vehicles specifies replacement of the front seat assemblies. Both notices state that repairs are free.
