The short version

Nissan North America, Inc. reported a problem with the emergency escape/egress/exit. Here is what owners need to know.

WHAT

The door latch-lock cable may not have been routed properly in the rear door when the remedy was applied. As a result, the cable may interfere with the window regulator causing the rear passenger door to unlatch and inadvertently open without warning when the window is lowered.

WHY IT MATTERS

If the rear passenger door opens while the vehicle is moving, the rear passengers have an increased risk of injury.

WHAT TO DO

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will secure the latch-lock cables in the correct position using the new remedy procedure, free of charge.
