AIR BAGS Safety Recalls

High Priority #23V067000 Plain English
Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The air bag cover on your vehicle has a small emblem that's held on with a special resin. In some 2008-2011 Titans, Frontiers, Xterras, Pathfinders, Armadas, and Quests, this emblem can crack and break loose during an air bag deployment.
Risk if Unfixed
If this happens, the emblem could fly off and hit you or someone else in the vehicle, causing injury. This is a serious safety risk, especially in a collision.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace the airbag cover for free, as soon as possible. You should schedule the repair when you receive the recall notice, which was mailed on December 8, 2023.

High Priority #08V690000 Plain English
Component

AIR BAGS:FRONTAL

Manufacturer
NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.
What Happened
The front crash zone sensor in your vehicle is a crucial part that helps the airbags deploy correctly. In some 2005-2009 Pathfinder, Frontier, and Xterra models, this sensor can be damaged by road salt and water, which can cause it to fail.
Risk if Unfixed
If the sensor fails, the airbags won't deploy properly in a crash, which could lead to serious injuries. You could be at risk of more harm than necessary if you're in a front-end collision.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace the faulty sensor with a new, improved one at no cost to you. If you live in a state that uses a lot of road salt, this fix is already taken care of. Otherwise, you'll receive extended warranty coverage for the sensor for 10 years.
