These Nissan Cars Being Recalled
There are some Nissan cars being recalled, and this is due to airbags that can explode. Almost 84,000 vehicles have been recalled due to this airbag. The cars are older Nissan’s. The Nissan cars being recalled are model years 2002 – 2006. The cars that are included in the recall are the 2002 – 2006 Nissan Sentra, the 2002 – 2004 Nissan Pathfinder and the 2002 – 2003 Infinity QX4s. Nissan also makes Inifinity vehicles.
Takata makes the airbag and they were already subject to a recall back in 2020. So, here is what could happen to these airbags if the recall is not taken seriously. The frontal passenger airbag inflators may explode due to “propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.” That is what the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said in the recall notes.
