Seatbelt May Not Adequately Protect Head/FMVSS 201

If the occupant’s head contacts the D-ring bolt trim cap during a crash, there is an increased risk of injury.

Summary

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2016-2017 Nissan Titan Crew Cab and Titan XD Crew Cab vehicles. In the event of a crash, the rear seatbelt assembly may not adequately protect the occupant’s head, allowing it to contact the D-ring bolt trim cap. As such, these vehicles fail to conform to Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 201, “Occupant Protection in Interior Impact.”

Remedy:

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install energy absorbing material to the C-Pillar Finishers and replace the Seatbelt Bolt and Bolt Cap, free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin September 26, 2017.

Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
