Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Nissan is recalling certain 2002-2006 Sentra vehicles with passenger air bags that were previously inspected but may not have been properly replaced. These Takata air bag inflators can explode during a crash due to propellant degradation caused by long-term exposure to humidity, high temperatures, and temperature cycling. An inflator explosion may send sharp metal fragments at the driver or other occupants, potentially causing serious injury or death.
Owners should not drive their vehicles until the repair is completed. Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will re-inspect the vehicle and replace the air bag inflator free of charge if necessary. The recall began January 22, 2021. Affected owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, referencing recall number PM964.
