Nissan announced today it's recalling more than 200,000 vehicles in the United States and overseas to fix a sensor system that could affect the vehicle's passenger-side airbag. The recall is expected to begin in early November.
The problem stems from an electronic component in the control unit for the passenger-side airbag, which may have been made out of specification. The control units affected are the Continental Automotive Systems' Occupant Classification Systems. Nissan has stated the electronic component could interrupt a signal in the sensor system and prevent the airbag from deploying under certain conditions.
The recall will affect the 2007-2008 models of the Nissan Murano, Nissan Rogue, and Infiniti EX35 crossover SUVs. More than 140,000 Nissan Altimas also will be recalled, along with the 350Z, and the Infiniti G35 Sedan, and G37. Affected model years are also 2007-2008 for these vehicles. There have been no reported injuries or crashes related to the airbag sensor, and most of the recalled vehicles are located in the United States. Other markets affected are Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico, and the Persian Gulf.
