NHTSA recall 10V349000
Air Bags · Nissan North America, Inc.
Details
What's wrong: These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard no. 201, "protection in interior impact." An out-of-specification a-pillar finisher might impede the correct inflation of the side curtain air bag near the upper portion of the b-pillar.
Why it matters: Incorrect inflation of the side curtain air bag may increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant in the event of a crash requiring deployment of that air bag.
The fix: Dealers will replace both right and left front pillar finishers free of charge. The safety recall began on August 16, 2010.
