Nissan and the NHTSA are warning drivers of older Nissan vehicles that still have recalled Takata air bags not to drive until the air bags are repaired and replaced due to safety risks.
Nissan is urging the owners of about 84,000 older vehicles to stop driving them because their Takata air bag inflators have an increased risk of exploding in a crash and hurling dangerous metal fragments.
"If you have one of these vehicles, do not drive it until the repair is completed and the defective air bag is replaced," NHTSA said.
Nissan warned owners of nearly 84,000 older vehicles to stop driving them, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The warning covers certain model year 2002-2006 Nissan Sentra, 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder and 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4 vehicles that may have Takata air bags that were recalled in 2020.
Nissan warned the owners of nearly 84,000 older vehicles to stop driving them because they are equipped with recalled airbag inflators, which have an increased risk of exploding in a crash, a defect regulators say has killed dozens of people and injured hundreds of others over nearly a decade.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Wednesday that owners of nearly 84,000 older Nissan vehicles equipped with recalled, unrepaired Takata air bags should immediately stop driving them.
