NHTSA campaign 15V453000 · 6,595 vehicles affected

Defect

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Nissan Rogue vehicles manufactured June 9, 2015, to June 10, 2015, and 2015 Nissan Sentra and Versa Note vehicles manufactured June 5, 2015, to June 13, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the driver side front and rear doors may not fully latch. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 206, Door Locks and Door Retention Components.

Consequence

A door that does not fully latch may result in the door opening while the car is moving. The distraction may increase the risk of a crash and/or a vehicle occupant may fall out of the vehicle if they are not wearing a seatbelt, increasing their risk of injury.

Corrective Action

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the date, lot number, and cavity code on the left front and rear door latches, and replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

Recall Service & Dealership Highlights

Protect Your Passengers

NHTSA recall information identifies three Air Bag recalls for the 2015 Nissan Sentra. A passenger frontal air bag inflator may not deploy properly, and an incorrectly classified passenger could face an increased injury risk if the air bag does not deploy as intended. A deformed front passenger seat belt bracket may also cause the system to misclassify a child restraint, increasing the risk of injury if the passenger air bag deploys. The Door Lock recall addresses front and rear driver-side doors that may not fully latch, creating a risk of a door opening while the vehicle moves. Waiting can leave these safety concerns unresolved, so check your VIN promptly.
