Filing in context
The Seat Belt is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 55 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 69 Nissan notifications from 2007 in this archive. For scale, 1,401 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 3 months.
Defect
The plastic cover on the side of the front seat is made of incorrect material, resulting in insufficient strength. In a frontal collision, the seat belt may forcefully contact the cover and crack it. In the worst case, the fractured edge of the cover severs the seat belt, preventing occupant restraint.

On all vehicles, the plastic cover is replaced with a conforming part.
