Latches & locks Vehicle recall #15V453000 · 2015 · 6,595 vehicles
What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Nissan rogue vehicles manufactured June 9, 2015, to June 10, 2015, and 2015 Nissan sentra and versa note vehicles manufactured June 5, 2015, to June 13, 2015. In the affected vehicles, the driver side front and rear doors May not fully latch. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard…
Why it matters: A door that does not fully latch May result in the door opening while the car is moving. The distraction May increase the risk of a crash and/or a vehicle occupant May fall out of the vehicle if they are not wearing a seatbelt, increasing their risk of injury.
The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the date, lot number, and cavity code on the left front and rear door latches, and replace them, as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on August 31, 2015.
