AIR BAGS:FRONTAL
- The defect
- Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2008-2011 Titan, Frontier, Xterra, Pathfinder, Armada, and 2008-2009 Quest vehicles. The resin emblem on the driver's air bag cover may develop cracks and detach during air bag deployment.
- What it can cause
- A detached emblem can become a projectile during air bag deployment, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
- What the dealer does
- Dealers will replace the drivers airbag cover. Owner letters were mailed December 8, 2023. Owners may contact Nissan's customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's number for this recall are PC944, PC945, and PC946.
- NHTSA's note
- Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153), or go to www.nhtsa.gov.
The repair is free, whatever the age or mileage of the vehicle, and whether or not you are the original owner.
Which vehicles
A recall reaches a range of VINs inside these model years, not every car built in them. Yours may not be covered even if it is listed here, and the only way to find out is NHTSA's own VIN lookup.
How this campaign compares
At 404,690 vehicles this is a bigger campaign than 97% of the 16,577 vehicle recalls with a published size filed from 1995 up to this one. The middle campaign among them covers 480. It covers model years 2008 to 2011, so the oldest vehicles on it were 15 model years old when the defect was reported to NHTSA.
Nissan vehicles have been recalled over the air bags 34 times before this, most recently in December 2020 as 20V747000. That is not evidence the earlier repair failed.
This site holds the complaint record for all 22 model years the campaign names. Their owners have filed 1,542 complaints with NHTSA, 1,438 of them before this campaign was filed. 254 of those name the air bags, the system this recall is about — a count of complaints, not of this defect. The earliest of them reached NHTSA in November 2007, 15 years before this filing.
Check your own car
A VIN check is the only answer for a specific vehicle, and it also shows every other open recall on it, which is usually the reason it is worth doing rather than reading one campaign.
