NHTSA Campaign Number: 18V915
Manufacturer Nissan North America, Inc.
Components LATCHES/LOCKS/LINKAGES, STRUCTURE
Potential Number of Units Affected 341,003
Rear Door May Open When Window Is Lowered
If the rear passenger door opens while the vehicle is moving, the rear passengers have an increased risk of injury.
Summary
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2015-2017 Altima vehicles, previously remedied under recall number 17V-040. The door latch-lock cable may not have been routed properly in the rear door when the remedy was applied. As a result, the cable may interfere with the window regulator causing the rear passenger door to unlatch and inadvertently open without warning when the window is lowered.
Remedy
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will secure the latch-lock cables in the correct position using the new remedy procedure, free of charge. The recall began February 5, 2019. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7669.
Notes
Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.safercar.gov.
