| Defect Summary | Nissan is recalling certain model year 2010 nissan frontier king cab vehicles manufactured from june 10, 2010 through june 26, 2010. these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 225, child restraint anchorage systems. the weld between the tether anchor and the seat gusset bracket is out-of-specification. as a result, and based on nissan's engineering judgment, the tether anchor could separate from the seat when tested under the conditions required by the standard. | |||||||||||||||
| Consequence Summary | In the event of a crash, the tether anchorage could separate from the vehicle seat increasing the risk of injury to an occupant in a child seat that uses the tether anchor. | |||||||||||||||
