What is being recalled
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.
Why it is dangerous
If the rear passenger door opens while the vehicle is moving, the rear passengers have an increased risk of injury.
The fix (free at any franchised dealer)
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.
Recall repairs are always free, regardless of vehicle age or where you bought the car. Quote the campaign number 18V-915 when calling a dealer.
