2010 NISSAN FRONTIER
Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Nissan is recalling certain 2010 Nissan Frontier King Cab vehicles manufactured between June 10, 2010 and June 26, 2010 due to a defect in the child seat tether anchorage system. The weld between the tether anchor and the seat gusset bracket does not meet specifications, which means the tether anchor could separate from the vehicle seat during a crash, increasing the risk of injury to a child in a car seat using that anchor.
Nissan will replace the seat gusset containing the tether anchorage with a new one at no charge. The recall began on August 30, 2010. Owners of affected vehicles should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 to arrange the replacement.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 NISSAN FRONTIER KING CAB VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 10, 2010 THROUGH JUNE 26, 2010.
