Recall 02V125000: Seat Belt Buckle Defect

DEFECT: On some trucks, the seat belt buckle latch plate was not manufactured according to design dimensions. If the seat belt tongue is inserted slowly at an angle into the buckle, there is a possibility of partial engagement. This condition can cause the seat belt tongue to come out of the buckle in the event of a collision or hard braking of the vehicle, increasing the risk of personal injury to an occupant of the seat.

Remedy: Dealers will inspect the buckle and, if necessary, replace the buckle assembly with a new buckle. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began May 28, 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
