What's wrong?
The rear seat belt anchor on a 2014 Nissan Frontier Crew Cab is the fixed mounting point that holds the rear belt to the truck body. The anchor bolt threads into an anchor nut on a weld nut plate, which is a metal plate attached to the body so the belt has a solid attachment point when it restrains a passenger.
On affected Frontier trucks, Nissan says an out-of-specification anchor nut was installed at that rear seat belt mounting location. Because the nut is not built to the intended specification, the seat belt anchor bolt is not attached as designed. That leaves the rear belt relying on a mounting point that does not match the hardware Nissan intended for that safety system.
There is no warning sign before failure. The belt can look normal from the cabin, so this is not something an owner can reliably spot through normal use.

What's the safety risk?
An incorrectly attached seat belt anchor bolt can leave the belt unable to restrain an occupant as designed in a crash, increasing the risk of injury. If your VIN is included, schedule the inspection soon and have the dealer repair the anchor attachment if needed. Repair will be free at any franchised Nissan dealer once available.
What should I do?
- Check your VIN to confirm your 2014 Nissan Frontier is included in this recall.
- Contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261 if you never received the owner letter mailed on August 18, 2014.
- Ask a franchised Nissan dealer about recall number 14V418 and the rear seat belt anchor inspection.
- Schedule the free seat belt anchor attachment repair if the dealer confirms your Frontier needs it.
- Bring the recall notice if you have it, and tell the dealer the issue is the rear seat belt anchor bolt attachment.
What happens at the repair
Nissan's dealer remedy is an inspection of the rear seat belt anchor attachment. Once the repair is available, a Nissan technician checks the seat belt anchor, the anchor bolt, and the weld nut plate area for the out of specification anchor nut described in the recall. If the attachment is not secured as designed, the dealer repairs it. Parts and labor are covered under the recall, so the final dealer repair is free once available.
