2004 Nissan Quest recalls
Seats: mid/rear assembly
NHTSA campaign 05V480000 · reported October 17, 2005 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 33,042 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- On certain mini vans equipped with a folding third row rear seat, when the third row seat is raised from its stowed position, it engages striker brackets, one on each side of the seat cushion. The fold-away striker loop is welded to a mounting bracket. The striker may become detached from its mounting bracket due to a broken weld at the point of attachment to the bracket.
- The risk
- If the third row seat striker weld fails, the striker could separate from the mounting bracket. Striker separation could affect the risk of injury in certain types of crashes.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the third row seat striker brackets free of charge. The recall began on december 19, 2005. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Seats: mid/rear assembly
NHTSA campaign 05V474000 · reported October 13, 2005 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 109,437 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- On certain mini vans, there is a seat adjustment mechanism that contains exposed moving components located at the rear inside edge of the second row seat.
- The risk
- When the operator attempts seat adjustment, a finger may be pinched in the moving seat adjustment mechanism which could cause an injury.
- The fix
- On earlier model vehicles built through june 28, 2004, dealers will replace the inboard second row seat adjustment handle, rivet a plastic reinforcement to backside of the existing seat back cover carpeting, install tie-downs and a flange to the inboard side shield. On vehicles produced from june 29, 2004 through september 26, 2005, dealers will rivet a plastic reinforcement to the backside of the existing seat back cover carpeting, install tie-downs and a flange on the inboard side shield. The recall began on december 19, 2005. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Latches/locks/linkages: doors, latch
NHTSA campaign 04V186000 · reported April 16, 2004 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 26,000 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- On certain minivans equipped with a power sliding door(s), at an ambient temperature below approximately 40 degrees fahrenheit, the actuator for the power sliding door(s) may experience binding due to an out-of-specification condition. In order to open, close or reverse a power sliding door, the shift selector lever must be in "park." if the actuator is experiencing binding and the driver shifts the vehicle out of "park" while a power sliding door is still closing, the door latches may not engage.
- The risk
- This can result in the door coming open unexpectedly upon rapid acceleration, and an occupant could fall out of the door and be injured.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the actuator for the power sliding door(s). Owner notification began on june 23, 2004. Owners should contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Air bags: frontal, sensor/control module-inactive
NHTSA campaign 04V103000 · reported March 1, 2004 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 13,757 vehicles potentially affected
- The problem
- Certain passenger vehicles fail to comply with the advanced air bag requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 208, "occupant crash protection." the air bag for the front passenger seat is to be turned off (so that it does not inflate) when certain occupants, such as small children, are in the front seat.
- The risk
- This reduces the risk of such occupants being unjured by an inflating air bag in a collision.
- The fix
- Dealers will inspect the front passenger seat cushion/sensor assembly. If the seat cushion/sensor is found to be operating improperly, the seat will be removed and recalibrated. Owner notification began on june 23, 2004. Owners should contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
