What happened

Nissan is recalling certain 2009-2012 Nissan Versa Hatchback and 2009-2011 Nissan Versa Sedan vehicles registered in specific states and U.S. territories. The passenger frontal air bag inflator may explode during a crash due to degradation from long-term exposure to humidity and temperature changes, which could send sharp metal fragments at the driver and other occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death.

Nissan will notify affected owners, and dealers will replace the passenger frontal air bag inflator at no cost. The recall began March 9, 2018. Owners of potentially affected vehicles should contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.
