FYI - get ready for a recall. Passenger Air Bag Sensor
From CNNMoney.com today:
Nissan recalls vehicles over air bag concerns
Automaker says more than 200,000 vehicles need a fix, models include Altima, Infiniti, Murano and Rogue.
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Nissan Motor Co. said Wednesday it was recalling more than 200,000 vehicles to fix a sensor system that could affect the car's passenger side air bag.
Nissan (NSANY) said the recall includes 140,000 Nissan Altima cars from the 2007-2008 model years. It also involves 2007-2008 model years of the Infiniti EX35, G35 Sedan, G37 and the Nissan 350Z, Murano and Rogue.
Nissan spokesman Colin Price said there have been no injuries or crashes, and the company discovered the problem during internal testing. Most of the recalled vehicles are in the United States; others are in Mexico, Canada, Puerto Rico and the Persian Gulf.
Nissan said the recall affects vehicles equipped with Continental Automotive Systems' Occupant Classification System control units. An electronic component in the control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been made out of specification.
The Japanese automaker said that could interrupt a signal in the sensor system and prevent the passenger air bag from deploying under certain conditions.
The recall is expected to begin in early November. Owners can contact Nissan at (800) 647-7261 or Infiniti at (800) 662-6200
