The problem
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.
The risk
In the event of a crash, the second row center seat May not function properly increasing the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
The fix
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 began on August 30, 2010. Owners May contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
