2006 NISSAN XTERRA — Complaint #1264651
Open-data reference.
NHTSA Complaint about SEAT BELTS filed March 1, 2016
NHTSA complaint #1264651 (ODI reference 10839134) concerns a 2006 NISSAN XTERRA and was filed on March 1, 2016. The owner reports the failure occurred on February 29, 2016. The vehicle had 190,000 miles on the odometer at the time of the incident. The report was geocoded to Alabama based on the filer's self-reported location. The affected component is categorized as seat belts, one of NHTSA's standardized taxonomy codes used to group defect patterns across make, model, and year.
The filer flagged the following severity indicators: crash: yes, fire: no, injuries: 1, fatalities: 0. A complaint that flags a crash, fire, or fatality is escalated on NHTSA's internal review queue and factors more heavily into any Preliminary Evaluation decision on this make and model. Because a VIN was supplied, this complaint is tied to a specific vehicle and not just a model-year cohort.
Individual complaints are consumer-submitted and unverified by NHTSA engineers — the agency's role at this stage is to collect, index, and make them searchable. What matters for federal action is the pattern: when many owners of the same NISSAN XTERRA cohort independently describe similar seat belts failures, defect investigators have grounds to open a PE and request manufacturer data. Related filings for the same vehicle and component appear below, and the detail page for the full 2006 NISSAN XTERRA shows the complete component-level complaint distribution alongside any active investigations or recalls.
