Filing in context
The Body is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 108 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 30 Nissan notifications from 2020 in this archive. For scale, 4,719 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles.
Defect
Due to improper welding equipment settings, the welding gun failed to make correct contact with the body panel during production, leaving some weld points on the front side member incomplete. This reduces the structural strength of the side member, resulting in insufficient body rigidity to maintain occupant space during a frontal collision. In the worst case, occupants may be injured.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, inspect the affected weld locations. If incomplete welds are found, perform weld repair.

状況
フロントサイドメンバにおいて、溶接設備の設定不良により溶接ガンが車体パネルへ正しく当たらず、溶接打点の一部で溶接がされていないおそれがある。このため、サイドメンバの強度が低くなり、前方車両衝突の際に乗員空間を確保するための車体強度が足りず、最悪の場合、乗員に危害を与えるおそれがある。
改善措置
全車両、車両の当該溶接部を点検し、溶接抜けが発見された場合は溶接修理を実施する。
