NHTSA recall 10V312000
Air Bags · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: The air bag inflator contains propellant wafers that are required to properly deploy the front passenger air bag. Due to improper propellant wafer installation during the air bag inflator assembly process, some air bag inflators may be missing one of the wafers. As a result, the remaining wafers in the inflator used for the deployment of the front passenger air bag may, over time, break up into powder due to normal…
Why it matters: The inflator housing may rupture and pieces of the inflator could strike and injure vehicle occupants.
The fix: Nissan will notify the owners of the forty-six affected vehicles. Dealers will replace the front passenger air bag module assembly with a new one free of charge. The safety recall began on August 19, 2010.
