What this recall means for you
Some 2018 vehicles may have had the driver's side curtain airbag installed incorrectly during production. The airbag may not deploy correctly in a crash, and the vehicles may not meet federal side impact and ejection mitigation safety standards.
If the curtain airbag does not deploy as designed, the risk of injury in a crash is higher. Owners should not ignore this recall, since the defect affects a key protection system in a collision.
Nissan will notify owners, and authorized dealers will inspect the curtain airbag and correct its installation if needed, at no cost to you. You can check whether your vehicle is affected by entering your VIN for open recalls, or contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.
