Nissan Frontier left-rear seat belt bolts may loosen

NHTSA campaign 21V958000 · Reported 2021-12-09 · Nissan North America, Inc.

high How serious is it? About this label

Serious but only in a crash: the truck drives normally and the notice does not tell you to stop driving it, though anyone riding in the left-rear seat may not be properly restrained if you are hit, so get it fixed promptly.

What's wrong, in plain English

The bolts that hold the left-rear seat belt bracket to the body may not have been tightened enough at the factory. That bracket is the anchor point the belt pulls against. If it is loose, the bracket can break under the heavy load of a crash, and the belt would no longer hold the passenger in place. Nissan dealers will replace those bolts and fix any damaged threads in the seat frame at no cost.

What you should do

1. Enter your VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls to confirm your truck is included in recall PC856. 2. Call any Nissan dealer for an appointment, or reach Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. 3. Have the dealer replace the bolts — the repair is free.
