I did a search for open recalls on seal belt fabrics but there are none. I do not know what to do about it. I have placed thin shipping tape over the rips and tears. It appears that something in the roll up mechanism is tearing the seat belt. Please help me. Thank you.

17V184000 · Steering:hydraulic Power Assist:hose, Piping, And Connections

Mar 16, 2017

Nissan North America (Nissan) is recalling certain 2013-2014 Murano and Murano Cross Cabriolet vehicles. The power steering hose clamp may not adequately secure the hose, allowing the hose to detach and leak power steering fluid.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the power steering fluid leaks onto a heat source such as hot engine or exhaust components, there could be an increased risk of a fire.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a power steering high pressure hose kit, free of charge. The recall began May 10, 2017. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
