NHTSA recall 17V-268 (17V268000)

What is being recalled

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."

Why it is dangerous

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

The fix (free at any franchised dealer)

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 began September 19, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 17V-268 when calling a dealer.
