2 vehicles only
Reasons the product is recalled
Airbag inflator: As it gets older, a combination of high temperatures and humidity can cause the airbag inflator propellant to degrade. If an affected vehicle is involved in a collision triggering the airbag, the metal inflator housing may explode/rupture under too much internal pressure.
The hazards to consumers
In the event that a defective airbag inflator ruptures, metal fragments may propel out through the airbag cushion towards the vehicle occupants causing serious injury or fatality.
What consumers should do
Owners of affected vehicles should contact their local Nissan dealership or Nissan head office directly via the website at http://www.nissan.com.au/contact-us to arrange for a replacement airbag inflator free of charge.
