US NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID | 96V185000 |

Number of Units Affected | 36,000 |
Summary | Certain buckle assemblies were produced with a "Buckle base" that was improperly heat treated. This can cause the "buckle base" to be brittle and fail to comply with FMVSS No. 209, "Seat Belt Assemblies". |
Consequence | In the event of a collision, these seatbelts may not restrain an occupant, incrasing the risk of injury. |
Remedy | Dealers will inspect the rear seat belt buckle assemblies and replace any buckles with lot numbers 023 and/or 029. |
Notes | Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261. |
