What this recall means for you
The passenger-side front airbag inflator initiator in certain vehicles built between August and September 2016 may fail to ignite during a crash. If that happens, the airbag will not deploy, which increases the risk of injury to the front passenger. The defect means the affected vehicles do not meet federal occupant crash protection requirements.
The manufacturer will notify owners, and authorized dealers will replace the passenger airbag assembly at no cost to you. Repairs are free of charge, and the recall began March 21, 2017.
To find out whether your vehicle is affected, check your VIN for open recalls at NHTSA's website or contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261. If your vehicle is included, schedule the free passenger airbag replacement at an authorized dealer.
