2014 Nissan Frontier recalls
Seat belts: rear/other
NHTSA campaign 14V418000 · reported July 10, 2014 · Nissan North America, Inc. · 1,319 vehicles potentially affected
The problem
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2014 Frontier Crew Cab vehicles manufactured June 11, 2014 to June 26, 2014. The affected vehicles were manufactured with an out of specification anchor nut installed on the weld nut plate where the rear seat belt anchor is attached. The seat belt anchor bolt may not be attached as designed.
The risk
If the seat belt anchor bolt is not attached as designed, that increases the risk of injury in the event of a vehicle crash.
The fix
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the seat belt anchor attachment and repair it if necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 18, 2014. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
Electrical system: wiring, fuses and circuit breakers
NHTSA campaign 14V052000 · reported February 12, 2014 · Nissan North America, Inc. · 13,535 vehicles potentially affected
The problem
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2012 through 2014 Frontier vehicles manufactured from November 28, 2012, through December 17, 2013. In the affected vehicles, a circuit breaker may have been installed incorrectly causing the main wire harness connected to the circuit breaker to face outward, potentially contacting a metal bolt located on the A-pillar.
The risk
The bolt may wear through the wire harness covering, resulting in an electrical short which could cause a fire.
The fix
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the circuit breaker orientation. If the circuit breaker orientation is incorrect, dealers will repair the vehicles free of charge. The recall began on March 17, 2014. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
