Faulty Air Bags
According to the NHTSA, the affected vehicles computer software may not detect an adult in the passenger seat. In the event of an accident, if a passenger is not detected then the air bag will not deploy. Passengers in these affected vehicles are at an increased risk of suffering serious injuries during an accident.
Did Nissan Know About the Problem?
In 2013, Nissan recalled more than 80,000 vehicles due to a similar issue. According to reports, there have been three accident reports in which the air bags failed to deploy. Although Nissan had recalled and repaired many vehicles, they continued to receive complaints from consumers including those who had their vehicles repaired.
Nissan will begin notifying affected owners by mid-April and intends to repair the vehicles software free of charge.
