Japanese automaker Nissan is recalling almost 13,000 new Versa Note subcompact hatchbacks to fix a problem related with various bolts used in the vehicle’s assembly process.
According to the Detroit News, the recall affects cars that were built at the company’s facility in Mexico before July 5. Since the 2014 Versa Note was put on sale just recently, we figure most of the hatchbacks are still at dealerships.
The report says Nissan needs to check is the 2014 Versa Note has bolts strong enough to hold the rear seat back latches in place in the event of a crash. In addition, the automaker says that “other bolts that secure the body to the undercarriage may not have been tightened enough or could be missing in rare cases.”
Fortunately, no crashes or injuries related to this issues have been reported so far, and Nissan says dealers will check the bolts and replace them free of charge. The recall will begin in mid-August.
