Details
What's wrong: The driver's frontal air bag inflator may have been improperly welded.
Why it matters: In the event of a crash necessitating deployment of the driver's frontal air bag, the inflator may crack and release the gas needed to properly deploy the air bag, increasing the risk of injury.
The fix: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the driver side air bag inflator, free of charge. The recall began October 30, 2017.
