Recall number 20V188000 · Recall details
Seat belts: front: buckle assembly
- What is wrong
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2015 Nissan Armada vehicles manufactured April 30, 2015, to June 5, 2015. The affected vehicles may have been built with driver or front passenger seat belt assemblies that may not properly latch or that may not unlatch when the release button is pressed.

A seat belt that does not properly unlatch when the release button is pressed may prevent the occupant from quickly exiting the vehicle in a emergency, such as after a crash, increasing their risk of injury.
- Remedy
- Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the both front seat belt buckle assemblies, replacing them as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on September 14, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1‑800‑647‑7261.

Airbag light went on. Took it to the Nissan dealer in Naples, Florida paid to have diagnostics done to determine the problem. The drivers seat airbag is defective. Per the diagnostics, The dealer service department said it was a safety issue.
It is very easy to mistake turning on the wipers by turning off the lights while driving at night. This is very dangerous if performed at night. There is no lighting on the right or left function arms. This mistake has happened to all 4 drivers in my household. It should seriously be looked into as a safety recall.
