Parents who own a 2021 Nissan Rogue car need to be aware of a recent recall that may endanger their young children in the car while in motion.

The automaker is recalling more than 47,000 of the vehicles because of a welding issue that could prevent child seats from being properly anchored, reports ConsumerAffairs.

The child seat could become disengaged in the event of a crash or a sudden stop, which could lead to serious injury in the process.

It was gathered that the issue makes these Rogue vehicles non-compliant with especially the US Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standards (FMVSS).

In view of this development, Nissan has said it is working with dealers so that affected vehicles can be inspected.

In cases where a problem is identified, the dealers will replace rear seatbacks at no cost to the vehicle owner, report noted.

Recall notification letters will be sent to owners Friday, July 30, 2021.

In a related development, over 285,000 Tesla Model 3 and Model Y vehicles produced at a Shanghai factory, in China, are being recalled because Chinese officials say a defect could cause them to accelerate unexpectedly.

An industry consultant reportedly said a remedy was being implemented via a software patch and that vehicle owners will not need to return their cars to have them fixed.

Tesla officials also stated that they are working with Chinese officials to “strictly follow national regulations and keep improving our safety protection.”

The recall has some greater significance because of previous claims made against Tesla when it comes to cases of unintended acceleration, according to report.

It is noted that consumers previously had petitioned the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), in the United States, to examine a hundred consumer complaints of Tesla cars suddenly taking off on their own.

However, Tesla previously stated that those claims were completely false, report said.
