What Happened
Your vehicle's door striker is a small metal piece that helps keep your door shut while driving. In certain 2025-2026 models, it might have been poorly welded and could break, allowing the door to open while you're moving.
Risk if Unfixed
If your door opens unexpectedly while driving, you could be at risk of injury or a crash, especially at higher speeds.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace the faulty door striker with a stronger one at no cost to you. Schedule the repair as soon as you get the recall notice and don't hesitate to contact Nissan's customer service at 800-647-7261 if you have any questions.
