  1. SEAT BELTSNHTSA 24V176000Mar 5, 2024

    Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024 Pathfinder and Infiniti QX60 vehicles. The lap belt pretensioner in the left-side front seat belt assembly may be improperly secured, due to a missing rivet. As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard numbers 208 "Occupant Crash Protection," 209 "Seat Belt Assemblies," and 210 "Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages."

    Consequence: An unsecured lap belt pretensioner will not properly restrain an occupant during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.

    Remedy

    Dealers will inspect and replace the left-side front lap seat belt pretensioner assemblies as necessary, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 18, 2024. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Owners may contact Infiniti customer service at 1-800-662-6200. Nissan's numbers for this recall are PD106 and PD107.

Reliability verdict for the 2024 Nissan Pathfinder

The 2024 Nissan Pathfinder posts a reliability score slightly below the segment average, pointing to a generally solid but not standout profile. The gap isn’t large, yet it suggests buyer risk is modestly higher than what’s typical for this class.

Reported problems aren’t confined to a single system. Electrical and powertrain concerns lead the mix, with additional reports touching the engine, structure, and brakes. That spread implies reliability outcomes may vary across multiple areas rather than hinging on one dominant weakness. Recall activity is limited, which helps keep overall exposure from trending upward.

Overall, the data supports a moderate risk level: broadly acceptable reliability with a small disadvantage versus the segment norm.
