Seat belts

What happens
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024 Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 vehicles. The lap belt pretensioner in the left-side front seat belt assembly may be improperly secured, due to a missing rivet.

Consequence
An unsecured lap belt pretensioner will not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
