Nissan recalls Infiniti G35 sedans, coupes

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20100504/..._nissan_recall

DETROIT (Reuters) – Nissan Motor Co recalled Infiniti G35 sedans and coupes affecting as many as 134,000 cars due to a connector that could cause airbags not to deploy during a crash, U.S. regulators said on Tuesday.

The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said as many as 134,215 Infiniti G35 sedans from model years 2005-2006 and G35 coupes from model years 2005-2007 are subject to the recall.

About 65 percent of the vehicles recalled are sedans and about 35 percent coupes, a Nissan spokesman said. The affected models were made at a Nissan plant in Japan. Both the sedan and coupe are of the previous generation of G35s.

Nissan spokesman Colin Price said no injuries or accidents have been reported.

NHTSA said a wire harness for the airbags may wear down to the point that it could interrupt a signal to deploy the airbags in the event of a crash.

Most of the vehicles involved are in the United States, but cars are also recalled in South Korea, Canada, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, Guam and the Middle East, Price said.

Price said that a red warning light will be displayed on the dashboard when the connection is disrupted to signal the airbag to deploy. He said drivers should take their cars to an Infiniti dealer at that point.

For cars where the red airbag signal is not lit, consumers will be notified soon by Nissan and Infiniti when to bring their cars in for service, Price said.

Nissan informed federal officials of the potential problem two weeks ago, NHTSA reports show.

Infiniti is the luxury brand for Nissan.

Are you kidding me? that does not even apply

In order for Infiniti to turn into Toyota, Many people would need to die first and then 4 years later come out with the Recall. They issued the recall quickly and will fix it shortly.

Cars get recalled thats how it is. Every single manufacturer has recalls. You might as well just walk if your scared.

Now more than ever is very important to have functioning airbags. Especially with so many toyotas on the road.

"Many deaths"? There have been a total of only 19 deaths involving Toyota's brake malfunction issue. My comment was referring to the fact of recalls taking place between both manufacturers, it was a comparison only on that level, not automotive defects. No need to get defensive.
