## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain 2022 Pathfinder vehicles.  The third\-row headrests may have an improper weld or misaligned internal components, which can allow the headrest to move or detach.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard number 202, "Head Restraints."


## What can happen

Headrests that move or detach may not adequately restrain occupants in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.


## The remedy

Dealers will replace all three third\-row seat headrests, free of charge.  Owner notification letters were mailed November 17, 2021.  Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1\-800\-867\-7669.  Nissan's number for this recall is PC844.


## 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.nhtsa.gov.
