# NHTSA recall 15V501000

A recall listed here may apply to a vehicle of this year, make and model. Only the manufacturer can say whether it applies to one vehicle: check the VIN with the official lookups.

- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 15V501000
- Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.
- Reported: 2015\-08\-10
- Owners notified: 2015\-09\-14
- Component: SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
- Units potentially affected: 1554

## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain model year 2015 Nissan Armada vehicles manufactured April 30, 2015, to June 5, 2015.  The affected vehicles may have been built with driver or front passenger seat belt assemblies that may not properly latch or that may not unlatch when the release button is pressed.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 208, "Occupant Crash Protection" and number 209, " Seat Belt Assemblies."


## What can happen

A seat belt that does not properly latch would not restrain a user, increasing their risk of injury in the event of a crash.  A seat belt that does not properly unlatch when the release button is pressed may prevent the occupant from quickly exiting the vehicle in a emergency, such as after a crash, increasing their risk of injury.


## The remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the both front seat belt buckle assemblies, replacing them as necessary, free of charge.  The recall began on September 14, 2015.  Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1\-800\-647\-7261.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
