Nissan Announces Recall of 84,000 Vehicles
11/29/96
Voluntary Recall Campaign Announced By Nissan CARSON, Calif., Nov. 26 -- Nissan Motor Corporation U.S.A., distributor of Nissan cars and trucks, announced today a voluntary recall campaign affecting approximately 60,000 1994 model year Trucks, built from November 1993 through April, 1994 and 24,000 1994 model year Pathfinders built from November 1993 and March 1994 to inspect and replace, as necessary, front seat belt buckles. Nissan reported that due to a manufacturing tolerance error, the seat belt tongue may not fully engage if it is not firmly inserted into the buckle. This may result in the seat belt becoming unfastened in the event of a collision or hard braking of the vehicle. To date, no injuries have been reported as a result of this situation. Nissan will inspect the seat belt buckles and replace, if necessary, at no charge to the customer. Owners of affected vehicles will be officially notified of the recall campaign in letters mailed on December 2, 1996.
