Nissan Recalls Vehicles over Defective Airbags

May 5, 2010

Nissan Motor Company has recalled over 134,000 vehicles because a defect is preventing the airbags from deploying in a crash.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has received reports that the airbags of Nissan Infiniti G35 sedans and coupes are not deploying in a crash which could cause serious injury to occupants and drivers. Nissan has reported the problem to be a defective connector. The wire harness may wear down over time and interrupt the signal to deploy the airbags in the event of a collision.

A red warning light on the dashboard will appear when the connection to the airbag is interrupted. Any consumers with a red airbag warning light on their dash should immediately take their defective vehicles to the nearest dealer to be repaired. Those driving recalled vehicles without a light should wait until they are notified by Nissan before returning their vehicles to the dealership.

Recalled Vehicles:
2005 - 2006 Model Year Infiniti G35 sedans
2005 - 2007 Model Year Infiniti G35 coupes
