What's wrong, in plain English

Nissan is recalling certain Altima, Maxima, and Leaf vehicles because the rear window glass may not stay properly attached to the vehicle. This means the back window could come loose from the body of the car instead of remaining securely fastened in place as it should be. If the glass separates from the vehicle, it no longer serves as a secure, attached part of the car's structure at the rear.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your vehicle is included.
2. Contact a Nissan dealer to schedule the free replacement of the rear window glass; Nissan customer service is 1-800-867-7669.
3. The repair is free of charge.

Where do I find my VIN, and what do I tell the dealer?

Your VIN is the 17-character code on the lower left of the windshield, on your registration and usually on your insurance card. Enter it at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see whether this recall is still open on your car. When you call the dealer, say you have an open safety recall and give them NHTSA campaign number 20V570000.
