Air bags: passenger side frontal, cushion · Air bags: frontal

NHTSA campaign 21V139000 · reported March 4, 2021 · Nissan North America, Inc. · 26,158 vehicles potentially affected

The air bag cushion was folded incorrectly, which could increase internal pressure and tear the air bag cushion during deployment.
The risk
A tear in the air bag may decrease air bag performance, and increase the risk of injury.
The fix
INFINITI will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag module, free of charge. The recall began on April 19, 2021. Owners may contact INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200. INFINITI's number for this recall is R20C2.

Air bags: frontal, passenger side, inflator module

The problem

The vehicles are equipped with non-desiccated, frontal passenger air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls.

The risk
An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.
The fix
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflators with alternate desiccated inflators, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 888-737-9511 or Infiniti customer service at 888-810-3715.
