Summary:NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 NISSAN
ARMADA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 7, 2010 THROUGH JUNE 11, 2010.
THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR
VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 207, "SEATING SYSTEMS." THE SECOND ROW CENTER
SEAT HINGE ASSEMBLY WAS MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. THIS MAY PREVENT
THE REAR CENTER SEATBACK FROM FULLY LOCKING IN THE IN-USE (UPRIGHT)
POSITION.
Consequence:
IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SECOND ROW CENTER SEAT
MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT
OCCUPANT.
Remedy:
DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SECOND ROW CENTER SEAT
HINGES/LOCK FOR PROPER FUNCTION. IF THE SEAT DOES NOT LOCK AS DESIGNED,
THE SECOND ROW CENTER SEAT HINGE ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE
FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN ON OR BEFORE AUGUST
30, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261
