Recall Alert: Nissan

Nissan has issued a recall for 204,361 vehicles that have a faulty sensor system that could cause the passenger-side airbag to fail to deploy in an accident. No one has yet been injured because of the malfunctioning sensor, but Nissan has decided to play it safe.

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the recall affects a number of different vehicles, most notably 140,000 Nissan Altimas from the 2007 and 2008 model years. Other vehicles included in the recall are the '07 and '08 350Z, Rogue and Murano, as well as the Infiniti EX35, G35 sedan and G37 coupe. Nissan will replace the passenger seat if the sensor proves defective.

Nissan owners should call 800-647-7261, while Infiniti owners can call 800-662-6200. You can also contact the NHTSA hotline at 888-327-4236.
