Recall 24V176 affects 12,019 2024 Nissan Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 vehicles for unsecured left-front lap belt pretensioners. Repair is free at any franchised Nissan dealer.
Nissan is recalling 12,019 2024 Pathfinder and QX60 vehicles because a missing rivet can leave the left front seat belt lap belt pretensioner improperly secured. An unsecured pretensioner will not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing injury risk; the franchised dealer repair will be free once Nissan makes it available.

What's wrong?
The left-side front seat belt lap pretensioner is part of the driver's seat belt assembly. It tightens the lap belt during a crash so the belt helps hold the occupant in position. The assembly depends on its rivets and anchor points staying secured under crash loads.
On affected 2024 Pathfinder and QX60 vehicles, the lap belt pretensioner assembly was built with a missing rivet. Nissan traced the problem to a supplier production station where the left-hand rivet spacer sensor was not working and the controller sensor program was disabled. Without that rivet, the pretensioner assembly has lower separation force than required by federal seat belt and occupant protection standards.
There is no warning sign before failure. The seat belt can look normal in daily use, so the defect is not something an owner can confirm by sight or by feel.
Who's affected?
Covers both the Pathfinder and QX60 for the 2024 model year; both use the same driver-side front seat belt pretensioner assembly.
