APPLIED VEHICLE:
2000 Quest (V41)

INTRODUCTION

Nissan has determined that some 2000 model year Nissan Quest vehicles may have seat belt buckle assemblies that do not comply with the applicable Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard and must be replaced. In the event of a severe crash, the seat belt buckle's metal base may fracture and cause the seat belt assembly to pull apart, which will increase the chance of injury.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Nissan has assigned identification number B0090 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this Campaign.

NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED

The number of vehicles potentially affected is approximately 9,500.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

It is the retailer's responsibility to check Service Comm for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a dealer's inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While federal law applies only to new vehicles, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.
