On certain vehicles equipped with a power sliding door(s), at an ambient temperature below approximately 4 degrees Celsius, the actuator for the power sliding door(s) may bind. In order to open, close or reverse a power sliding door, the shift selector lever must be in PARK. If the actuator is experiencing binding and the driver shifts the vehicle out of PARK while a power sliding door is still closing, the door latches may not engage. This can result in the door coming open unexpectedly upon rapid acceleration. Correction: Dealer will replace the actuator for the power sliding door(s).

On vehicles equipped with the automatic airbag suppression feature option, the front passenger seat is equipped with a seat cushion bladder and sensors used for occupant detection. When a certain child dummy is placed in the required positions for US Government tests, automatic suppression may not occur. Correction: Dealers will inspect the front passenger seat cushion/sensor assembly. If the seat cushion/sensor is found to be operating improperly, the seat will be removed and recalibrated. Nissan in the United States is conducting this safety recall campaign to correct an out of compliance condition with US regulations. While there are approximately 1,524 vehicles in Canada affected by this condition, Canadian regulations in this area differ from those in the United States and thus Canadian vehicles are not out of compliance. However, in the interest of customer satisfaction, Nissan Canada Inc., will be conducting a Voluntary Customer Satisfaction Initiative to have owners of affected Canadian vehicles return to their dealers for inspection and recalibration if required.
