Summary:
Certain buckle assemblies were produced with a \"Buckle base\" that was improperly heat treated. This can cause the \"buckle base\" to be brittle and fail to comply with FMVSS No. 209, \"Seat Belt Assemblies\".

Consequence:
In the event of a collision, these seatbelts may not restrain an occupant, incrasing the risk of injury.

Remedy:
Dealers will inspect the rear seat belt buckle assemblies and replace any buckles with lot numbers 023 and/or 029.

Notes:
Owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time, should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Dates of Manufacture:
June - September 1996
