Recall 99V-056: 1999 Nissan Quest
NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. recall for seats, reported to NHTSA on Mar 25, 1999, covering about 1,600 vehicles.
The problem
Vehicle description: mini vans equipped with e-z entry seats. The affected vehicles may have a second row right hand side captain chair that has inadequate lubrication of the easy entry and exit latch system. In some cases, the actuator spring in the latch could deform after repeated use, causing the latch to remain in the unlatched position. If this occurs, the seat will slide freely on the seat track and the springs on the track will move the seat to the easy entry position toward the front of the vehicle.
The risk
An unlatched seat track could result in an increased risk of injury in the event of a vehicle crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the seat track for the second row right hand side captain's chair, which includes the easy entry and exit latch mechanism.
