## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain 2015\-2017 Altima vehicles. The rear door latch/lock cable on the vehicles may have been improperly routed.  As a result, lowering a rear window may inadvertently cause that door to unlatch and open.


## What can happen

If the rear passenger doors inadvertently open while the vehicle is in motion, it may increase the risk of injury to the rear passengers.


## The remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will correct the rear door latch/lock cable routing, free of charge.  The recall began on February 16, 2017.  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.
