Manufacturer Nissan North America, Inc.

Components SEATS, CHILD SEAT

Potential Number of Units Affected 47,098

 

Summary

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2021 Rogue vehicles. The second-row upper tether wires may have been improperly welded to the seatback frame, preventing a child seat from being securely anchored. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 225, “Child Restraint Anchorage Systems.”

 

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the rear seatbacks as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed July 30, 2021. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan’s number for this recall is PC812.

 

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.nhtsa.gov.

***** Campaign Summary *****

Nissan is committed to the safety and security of our customers and their passengers.  Nissan has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and Transport Canada that it is recalling certain MY2021 Nissan Rogue vehicles in the USA and Canada to inspect the upper tether wires of the Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children (LATCH) system and replace, if necessary, the second row rear seat backs.

Due to a supplier manufacturing concern that has since been corrected, the LATCH tether wires on the second row rear seat backs may have an insufficient weld condition to the seat back frame. In this condition, the second row upper tether wires may bend or move when a pull force is applied and may not meet the regulatory requirements of FMVSS No. 225.  Because of the unintended movement of the wire, a child seat tether may unlatch from the seat back, increasing the risk of injury during a sudden stop or crash.

Affected vehicles are subject to stop sale and are either currently in dealer inventory or assigned and in transit to the dealer.

 

***** Release Schedule *****

Parts

If inspection results indicate that parts replacement is needed, parts may be ordered via DBS.  Parts may be ordered via normal process beginning September 17, 2021.

  • Parts currently on order in DBS will be fulfilled.

Owner Notification

Nissan began sending notifications to owners of all potentially affected vehicles in late July 2021 via U.S. Mail.

 


Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): 

Is this a Stop Sale?

Yes.

 

What is the reason for this safety recall?

Due to a supplier manufacturing concern that has since been corrected, the Top Tether Anchors of the LATCH system on the second row rear seat backs may have an insufficient weld condition to the seat back frame. In this condition, the second row Top Tether Anchors may bend or move when a pull force is applied and may not meet the regulatory requirements of FMVSS No. 225.

 

What is the possible effect of the condition?

If this condition occurs, the second row Top Tether Anchors may bend or move when a pull force is applied. Because of the unintended movement of the anchor, a child seat tether may unlatch from the seat back, increasing the risk of injury during a sudden stop or crash.

 

What will be the corrective action?

Dealers will inspect the LATCH Top Tether Anchor welds and replace, if necessary, the second row rear seat backs.

 

How long will the corrective action take?

The inspection should take less than one (1) hour to complete; however, if seat replacement is necessary the repair could take up to three (3) hours. The dealer may require the vehicle for a longer period of time based upon the dealer’s work schedule.

 

When will vehicle owners be notified?

Nissan began sending notifications to owners of all potentially affected vehicles in late July 2021 via U.S. Mail.

 

Is my vehicle safe to drive?

This issue concerns use of a child seat in the second row. If you are using, or will install, a child seat using the LATCH Top Tether Anchors in the second row, contact your local Nissan dealer for immediate inspection before using the child seat.

 

Is there anything owners can do to mitigate this condition?

No.

 

Is there any charge for this repair?

No, the remedy will be performed for the customer free of charge for parts and labor.

 

Are parts readily available?

Parts are currently on restriction and may be ordered, if needed, via DBS.

NOTE:  Nissan anticipates a low number of affected vehicles will require parts replacement. 

 

Will a rental vehicle be provided while the dealer is servicing the vehicle?

Please consult your dealer for alternate transportation availability while your vehicle is being serviced. If inspection results indicate that parts replacement is needed, and parts need to be ordered, rental is available.

EXPENSE CODEDESCRIPTIONAMOUNT
502 Rental Expense $280 (Max)
Contact the Warranty claims call center 1-800-258-7008 Option 7, if additional expense is required. Please refer to the Goodwill Rental Guidelines in the APRM for detailed information regarding application of rental reimbursement.

 

Will I have to take my vehicle back to the selling dealer to have the service performed?

No, any authorized Nissan dealer is able to perform the recall campaign.

 

I have lost confidence in the vehicle. Will Nissan replace or repurchase the vehicle?

The remedy will fully correct this condition. As the condition will be corrected, there is no basis for repurchasing or replacing your vehicle.

 

What model year vehicles are involved?

Certain MY2021 Rogue vehicles manufactured in Smyrna, Tennessee between September 23, 2020 and April 20, 2021 are affected.

 


 

NONCOMPLIANCE INFORMATION REPORT

 

Manufacturer:

Nissan North America Inc., Smyrna, TN plant

 

Vehicles Potentially Involved:

Certain Model Year 2021 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured in the Smyrna, TN plant from

September 23, 2020 to April 20, 2021.  Based on production records, this issue is unique to Model Year 2021 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured during the timeframe that the seat back frame handling error occurred.

 

The seat assemblies that contain the subject second row upper tether wires are unique to the supplier (Toyo, TN) for MY2021 Rogue vehicles built at the Smyrna plant.  As such, this issue affects no other Nissan or INFINITI vehicles.

Total Number of Vehicles Potentially Involved:

Approximately 47,098 Nissan Rogue vehicles may be affected

 

Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Noncompliance:

0.06%

 

Description of the Noncompliance:

On certain Rogue vehicles, the second row upper tether wires may have a poor weld connection to the seat back frame.  During the welding process at the supplier (Toyo, TN) the second row upper tether wires may have moved out of position, which can cause an insufficient weld.  When this condition occurs, the second row upper tether wires may not conform to requirements defined in S6.3 Strength requirements for tether anchorages of FMVSS No. 225; Child restraint anchorage systems.

 

The upper tether wire of the second row seat is part of the LATCH system that secures child car seats.  In this condition, a child seat may not be secured during a crash or sudden stop, which can increase the risk of possible injury of a child occupant.

 

Basis for Determination of the Existence of a Noncompliance

April 19, 2021 – During a routine internal yard sort activity, a plant operator noticed an abnormal fit while installing the seat back frame into the second row seat assembly fixture at the Smyrna, TN plant.  The operator notified the supervisor of the issue, and Nissan began an investigation together with the supplier.

 

April 2021 through May 2021 – Nissan conducted a plant audit activity to determine the scope of the issue.  Out of 6,950 seat back assemblies checked, four (4) units—three (3) left hand and one (1) right hand—were determined to contain a poor weld connection between the seat back and upper tether wire.

 

During the supplier investigation, it was discovered that the clamping mechanisms on the seat back fixture were slightly loose, allowing movement of the seat frame, which caused the tether wires to be out of position during the welding operation.

 

June 2021 – Nissan conducted a safety assessment to determine whether the weld condition conformed to the regulatory requirements for tether anchorages.

 

June 17, 2021 – Based upon confirmation that the subject condition affected compliance with FMVSS No. 225, Nissan made a noncompliance determination.

 

Nissan is not aware of any incidents related to the subject condition.

 

Description of Corrective Action:

Nissan will notify all owners of potentially affected vehicles beginning July 30, 2021.   Dealers will be notified June 30, 2021.  Dealers will visually inspect the back of the seat frames to confirm the weld condition for all three (3) second row upper tether wires.  If a non-conforming weld is found, dealers will remove and replace the affected rear seat back.

 

We will not include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification concerning reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy as the subject vehicles are under warranty.

 

Copy of Notices:

Copies of all notices will be provided to NHTSA as they become available.
