What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS

What Happened

The passenger air bag in your vehicle is designed to protect you in the event of a frontal crash. In some 2001-2006 models, the air bag's internal pressure can become too high, causing the inflator to burst into sharp metal fragments.

Risk if Unfixed

If the air bag inflator ruptures during a crash, sharp metal fragments could hit you and your passengers, causing serious injury or even death.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix

Your Nissan dealer will replace the passenger air bag inflator with a safer, redesigned one at no cost to you. This repair is free, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.
