Owners notified September 8, 2014 · Vehicles built March 14, 2014 – May 15, 2014 (per NHTSA)

Defect description

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2014 NV passenger vans manufactured March 14, 2014 to May 15, 2014, equipped with seat belt retractors from Faurecia Automotive Systems. The seat belt retractor bolts on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th row removable seats may not be torqued to proper specification, or may be missing, on the affected vehicles. This can cause the seat belt anchor to not be secured properly.

Safety consequence

If the seat belt retractor bolts are not torqued to specification, or are missing, it may cause the seat belt anchor to not be secured properly. If this occurs, the belt may not properly restrain the seat occupant in the event of a crash increasing the risk of injury.

Manufacturer remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt retractor bolt for the proper torque, and tighten if necessary, free of charge. The recall began in September 2014. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

THE REAR AC BLOWER MOTOR DIED FOR THE SECOND TIME IN LESS THAN A YEAR. THIS PASSENGER VEHICLE IS THE ONLY MODE OF TRANSPORTATION FOR MY FAMILY WITH 7 SMALL CHILDREN RANGING IN AGE FROM 10 MONTHS TO 11 YEARS OLD. YESTERDAY AND TODAY, THE TEMPERATURE IN THE REAR OF THE VEHICLE HAS REACHED 104 DEGREES INSIDE (86 DEGREES OUTSIDE) WHILE THE AC IS RUNNING ON ITS HIGHEST SETTING IN THE FRONT OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS A KNOWN ISSUE WITH NISSAN. THEIR AUTO TECH SAID EVERYONE WHO PURCHASES THIS VEHICLE COMES BACK WITHIN A COUPLE OF YEARS TO HAVE THIS PART REPLACED. THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE ASSOCIATE RECOMMENDED THAT I CONTACT YOU TO FILE A COMPLAINT BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT ISSUE A RECALL UNLESS THEY ARE DIRECTED TO DO SO BY YOU. PLEASE HELP FAMILIES LIKE MINE. HOT VEHICLES ARE EXTREMELY DANGEROUS FOR CHILDREN. PLEASE DO NOT LET SOMEONE LOSE A CHILD BECAUSE OF A FAULTY PART THAT NISSAN AND THE NHTSA KNOWS ABOUT BUT REFUSES TO RECALL. *TR
