RepairPal Expert Overview
Our Quick Take:
The side airbags, mounted in the front seats, may not deploy as expected in the event of a crash.
What Should You Do?
Nissan will notify owners of affected vehicles beginning March 12, 2012. There may be no symptoms related to this recall, or the airbag warning light could illuminate. If your airbag warning light is on, or you don't receive notification and you feel you should have, please contact your dealer. It’s helpful to have your vehicle identification number (VIN) handy when you call.
Summary:
The wiring connector for the seat mounted airbag may experience increased electrical resistance and may not deploy. In the event of a crash, non-deployment of the side airbags could increase the risk of personal injury. Dealers will modify the wiring connector to correct this concern.
