What happened

Nissan is recalling certain Infiniti FX35, FX45, I35, M35, and M45 models from 2003-2010, along with Nissan Versa models from 2007-2011, due to a defect in the passenger-side frontal air bag inflator. The inflators may rupture due to propellant degradation from exposure to humidity and temperature changes, potentially causing metal fragments to strike vehicle occupants and result in serious injury or death. The specific vehicles affected depend on their original sale location or registration in designated geographic zones, with some model years recalled only in certain regions across the United States and U.S. territories.

To remedy the issue, Nissan will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator at no charge. Owners should contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261 to schedule an appointment with a Nissan dealer for the free replacement.
