What's wrong: Nissan north america, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2007-2011 Versa sedan and 2007-2012 Versa hatchback vehicles. The affected vehicles have a driver frontal air bag inflator that may rupture due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to moderate absolute humidity, temperatures, and temperature cycling.
