4. Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:
Approximately 0.03%. 1% is used here because submission within NHTSA s safety portal will
not allow a non-numeric value.
5. Description of the Defect:
The resin emblem on the driver’s airbag module cover in affected vehicles may have
reduced durability due to potential Tier 2 supplier production process variation. In this
condition, the posts of the emblem may develop cracks over time, and the emblem and
retainer components could detach in the event of an airbag deployment. A detached
emblem and/or retainer component may become a projectile during an airbag
deployment, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
6. Chronology of Principal Events:
January 2022 – Nissan received a customer Vehicle Owner Questionnaire (VOQ) from
NHTSA related to an alleged injury reportedly caused by emblem detachment during a
driver’s airbag deployment on a Model Year 2008 Nissan Titan vehicle. Nissan launched an
investigation into the issue.



Nissan identified three previous allegations of injury caused by detached emblems related
to an airbag deployment event. At the time, based on the analysis Nissan conducted on
the one (1) available part, Nissan believed it was an isolated incident.
February 2019 lawsuit – Analysis of Model Year 2010 Titan identified contaminant
residue on the broken emblem
December 2020 Takata Trust Claim – Nissan has been unable to inspect the Model
Year 2010 Armada
December 2020 VOQ – Nissan was unable to inspect the Model Year 2009 Armada
because it was salvaged
March 2022 – Nissan inspected the January 2022 VOQ incident vehicle but was not
permitted to collect the incident part for further analysis. Nissan expanded its search to
look for broken emblems. Additionally, Nissan initiated a parts return activity to retrieve any
broken emblem field parts.
April 29, 2022 through August 2022 – Nissan shared their findings from the January 2022
VOQ vehicle inspection with NHTSA, including evidence of unknown liquid residue at the
emblem location and on the emblem. Nissan continued attempts to collect the January
2022 voo incident part for analysis.
Additionally, Nissan collected two (2) field parts with the same emblem design produced
within 3 months (November 2007) of the January 2022 VOO incident part and which had
allegedly broken off from the steering wheel cover (but not during an airbag deployment).
September 2022 through December 2022 – Nissan worked together with the airbag
supplier (Autoliv) and conducted an emblem traceability study that linked the potential
emblem quality issues to the Tier 2 supplier (Douglas) production. Data suggested review
was needed of the Tier 2 supplier’s procedures for sorting, molding or chroming of material
at the start of production.
As part of the investigation, Nissan conducted a search for claims related to the subject
condition. Nissan refined its search criteria multiple times to identify claims of broken or
detached emblems. After extensive analysis, Nissan identified one hundred seventeen (117)
reports of cracked or detached emblems. However, not one of them was related to airbag
deployment. A majority of the identified claims were related to cosmetic concerns about
the emblem.
Nissan continued updates to NHTSA on its field collection activity and attempts to collect
the January 2022 VOQ incident part. Initial analysis of the other two (2) collected field parts
showed broken emblem posts and revealed degradation that may have been due to melt
flow rate variation during production. There was also evidence of material degradation
potentially caused by the chrome plating process.
January 2023 – Nissan received the January 2022 VOQ incident part and began analysis.
Nissan shared the results of its investigation of the 2 collected field parts with NHTSA during
a call on January 19, 2023. The majority of the instances of broken emblems come from an
8-month production period in 2007-2008 when Douglas supplied the emblem and was
found to have used resin with non-optimized melt flow parameters in the injection molding
process. Breaking of emblems was likely caused by a combination of material quality,
quality of chrome plating of emblem, and customer usage.
Subsequent analysis of the January 2022 VOQ incident part confirmed that it also had a
lower tensile strength, similar to the two (2) collected field parts. Nissan also worked with
Autoliv to identify the potentially affected vehicle population based on internal production
records.
February 2, 2023 – Based on the results of the investigation, and out of an abundance of
caution, Nissan decided to conduct a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign.
7. Description of Corrective Action:
Dealers will be notified beginning February 10, 2023. Owners of all potentially affected
vehicles will receive an interim letter by April, 10 2023. The repair is under study at this
time. When the repair is ready, customers will receive a final invitation to repair letter. All
inspections and repairs will be performed free of charge for parts and labor.
Nissan will include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification concerning
reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy for a subject vehicle
that is no longer under warranty at time of repair.
8. Copy of Notices:
Copies of all notices will be provided to NHTSA as they become available.

***** Campaign Summary *****
Nissan is committed to the safety and security of our customers and their passengers. Nissan has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it is recalling the affected vehicles to address a potential issue with the driver airbag cover emblem.
The resin emblem on the driver’s airbag module cover in affected vehicles may have reduced durability due to potential Tier 2 supplier production process variation. In this condition, over time the posts of the emblem may develop cracks, and the emblem and retainer components could detach in the event of an airbag deployment. A detached emblem and/or retainer component may become a projectile during an airbag deployment, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.
Dealers will be able to identify the potentially affected vehicles in Service Comm and DBS National Service History on February 10, 2023. Nissan is currently developing its remedy plan. Nissan anticipates remedy availability in Fall 2023. A campaign announcement and repair information will be distributed once the remedy is available.
***** What Dealers Should Do****
1. Verify if vehicles are affected by this Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign using Service Comm or DBS National Service History Campaign I.D. PC944, PC945, PC946.
