The problem
On some sport utility vehicles, in certain high speed frontal crashes, the webbing of a rear outboard seat belt May contact the rear seat back hinge where it can be cut by the sharp edge of the metal portion of the hinge.
The risk
If the webbing is completely separated, it can increase the risk of injury to an occupant in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will install protectors over the webbing of the rear seat belts. The recall began on March 20, 2006. Owners May contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
