INFINITI I30 airbag deployment issue with metal fragments despite no accident on INFINITI I30

Problem overview

Some INFINITI I30 owners report experiencing airbag deployment issues involving metal fragments, which can occur even without an accident. This problem is linked to the inflator within the airbag system that may explode during deployment, releasing sharp metal pieces into the cabin and posing a significant safety risk to drivers and passengers. These metal fragments can lead to serious injuries or fatalities. Due to these dangers, owners are advised to stop driving their vehicles immediately to prevent harm. INFINITI has responded by offering free recall repairs to replace the front passenger airbag inflators with safer alternatives. Furthermore, nearly 84,000 Nissan and INFINITI vehicles equipped with Takata airbags have received a "Do Not Drive" warning until the airbags are replaced, emphasizing the critical need to address safety recalls promptly to protect vehicle occupants.
