\ Nissan recall

Nissan Motor Co. Ltd. has recalled about 165,000 Sentra cars because of a potential shoulder seat belt problem.

The company said the driver- and passenger-side shoulder belts on 1990 models could become frayed because of faulty operation of a belt guide.

The automaker is notifying owners of affected vehicles by mail. Inspection and repair work will be done for free.
