Nissan has said
it will recall more than 3.8 million vehicles, mostly in North America,
because the passenger-side airbag may not deploy in a crash due to a
defect in the seat sensor.
The Japanese automaker said the global recall would cover 2013-2017
including some Nissan Altima, Leaf, Maxima, Murano, Pathfinder, Sentra
and Rogue models.
“This recall will affect approximately 3.5 million Nissan vehicles
and approximately 381,000 Infiniti vehicles globally,” the company said
in a statement, adding that more than 80 percent of them were sold in
North America.
It said a fault in the sensor not properly registering when the
passenger seat was occupied could lead to failure to deploy the airbag
in the event of a collision.
The firm said it was developing a fix and would notify dealers in late May.
It was not immediately clear if the recall involves auto parts giant
Takata, which was hammered by an exploding air bag defect blamed for at
least 11 deaths.
