Reference: NTB10-096
Date: August 17, 2010
VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN
2010 ARMADA 2ND ROW CENTER SEAT LATCH
CAMPAIGN ID#: PC059
NHTSA#: 10V-371
APPLIED VEHICLES: 2010 Armada (TA60)
Check Service COMM to confirm campaign eligibility.
INTRODUCTION
A small number of certain specific model year 2010 Armada vehicles may have been manufactured with an out-of-specification second row center
seat latch. To remedy this issue, Nissan is conducting a voluntary safety recall campaign to inspect, and if necessary, replace the second row center
seat latch with a new one.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC059 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any
nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealer'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.
