What's wrong, in plain English

The front passenger seat belt's automatic locking feature, which is used to hold a child seat tightly in place, may switch off earlier than it should. When that happens, the seat belt doesn't hold a child seat as securely as it's supposed to.

What you should do

1. Check your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to see if your vehicle is affected.
2. Contact a Nissan dealer to have the front passenger seat belt, and both rear outer seat belts if needed, replaced (customer service: 1-800-867-7669).
3. The repair is free.

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 21V555000.
