Summary
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2001-2003 Maxima, 2002-2006 Sentra, 2002-2004 Pathfinder, 2007-2011 Versa Sedan and Versa Hatchback, 2001-2004 Infiniti I30 and I35, 2002-2003 Inifiniti QX4, 2003-2008 Infiniti FX35 and FX45 and 2006-2010 M35 and M45 vehicles. The vehicles are equipped with non-desiccated, frontal passenger air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.
Remedy
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflators with alternate desiccated inflators, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 888-737-9511 or Infiniti customer service at 888-810-3715.

***** Campaign Summary*****
As previously announced, Nissan has implemented the next phase of Takata inflator recalls on certain Nissan model and model year vehicles to replace front passenger airbags with remedy parts. Nissan is continuing to attempt to contact affected owners to remind them of the recall on their vehicle and encourage them to bring it to a dealer so it can be remedied.
Since the release of the original campaigns in 2013-2015, newer remedy parts have been made available and Nissan created new campaign IDs to allow the newest remedy parts to be used. Nissan strongly recommends customers with a vehicle that has NOT received any remedy to bring their vehicle to a Nissan dealer to be remedied as soon as possible.
Owners of vehicles that have previously been repaired using Takata non-desiccated inflators under the following campaign IDs are now being asked to return to the dealership for the final countermeasure part:
- PM358
- P4236
- PM458
- R1302
- PM459
- R1407
- PM558
- R1508
- PM559
As part of an ongoing effort to improve customer recall participation, all Nissan dealers have the option of performing their own mobile repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
| Q: | Is this a safety recall campaign? | |||||||||
| A | Yes.
| |||||||||
| Q: | Does this stop sale apply to previously owned vehicles? | |||||||||
| A | Nissan strongly recommends dealers not sell previously owned vehicles affected by these recalls until it is remedied. Certain states have laws preventing the sale of previously owned vehicles with open safety recalls. Dealers must comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding vehicle sales as they relate to open safety recalls.
| |||||||||
| Q: | How do I know if my vehicle has a problem with the front passenger airbag inflator? | |||||||||
| A | If your vehicle is subject to one of these campaigns, you will receive an owner notification letter from Nissan. If you would like, I can check your vehicle identification number (VIN) right now to see if your vehicle is affected by a different recall. You may also search for open recall campaigns at www.safercar.gov
| |||||||||
| Q: | What is the problem? | |||||||||
| A | Due to Takata (the airbag supplier) inflator quality issues, it is possible that the front passenger airbag inflator housing in the subject vehicles could deploy abnormally in the event of a crash. An inflator rupture could result in metal fragments striking and potentially seriously injuring vehicle occupants.
| |||||||||
| Q: | Have all affected owners already been notified? | |||||||||
| A | Nissan began notifying owners with vehicles subject to PM684 and R1712 in February 2020, via US Mail.

| |||||||||
| Q: | I have not received a letter, but want to know if my vehicle is affected? | |||||||||
| A | Please give me your vehicle identification number (VIN) so that I can check if your vehicle is included in this recall. You may also search for open recall campaigns at safercar.gov
| |||||||||
| Q: | Is it safe to drive my vehicle? | |||||||||
| A | Nissan strongly urges customers to have this important safety recall remedy performed as soon as possible. In the meantime, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat until a remedy is performed.
| |||||||||
| Q: | Is there anything owners can do to avoid the risk/danger? | |||||||||
| A | If your vehicle is subject to this important safety recall, immediately contact your dealer to schedule an appointment to have the remedy performed. In the meantime, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat until the remedy is performed.
| |||||||||
| Q: | Does my vehicle have Takata airbag inflators? | |||||||||
| A | Many vehicles are equipped with Takata airbag inflators. However, only certain vehicles are affected by these recalls. Let me check your VIN to confirm whether your vehicle is affected- if affected, it needs to be remedied as soon as possible. If your vehicle is not affected, no further action is needed at this time.
| |||||||||
| Q: | Are parts available for the recall repair? | |||||||||
| A | Yes.
| |||||||||
| Q: | Will alternate transportation be provided while the dealer is awaiting parts? | |||||||||
| A | Parts are available for the recall repair. However, Nissan has authorized alternate transportation upon customer request if parts are temporarily unavailable at certain Nissan dealers. Please check with your dealer for alternate transportation availability.

| A | This free service should take approximately one (1) hour to complete, but your Nissan dealer may require your vehicle for a longer period of time based upon their work schedule.
| |||||||||
| Q: | All these vehicles are receiving a passenger airbag inflator replacement. Why are there so many campaign IDs and bulletins? | |||||||||
| A | The Takata recalls are very complex. Vehicles under each campaign ID are separated by various zones for the same make and model year. Nissan must track each group of vehicles using specific campaign IDs to ensure the repair was completed correctly. Additionally, interim and final repairs must also be tracked, including which vehicles received both interim and final repairs.
There may be some minor differences from one campaign to another, so it is very important for dealers to follow the instructions in each campaign bulletin and the assigned campaign ID for each VIN. Dealers should not deviate from published repair directions and assume that a part referenced for one group of vehicles for a campaign population will work for another.
| |||||||||
| Q: | Where can I find used airbag inflator parts return information? | |||||||||
| A | This information is available on Dealer 360 in the recalls & service campaigns forum: https://dealer360.nnanetcom/community/topics/8300/

RE: Use of the Expanded Other Category for Takata Recalls
Dear Mr. Hench:
This communication serves to notify NHTSA of Nissan’s intent to expand utilization of the ‘Other’ category in reporting completion in the dashboard submission and quarterly reports pursuant to Paragraph 47 in the Third Amendment to the Coordinated Remedy Order (ACRO) and additional instructions provided by NHTSA in June 2019. Nissan intends to apply the expanded ‘Other’ category to the following Takata recall campaigns:
- Recall 15V-226
- Recall 15V-287
- Recall 16V-349
- Recall 17V-028
- Recall 17V-068
- Recall 17V-449
- Recall 18V-044
- Recall 18V-401
- Recall 18V-452
- Recall 20V-008
At this time, expanded utilization of the “Other’ category adds the following sub-categories, each described in more detail below.
- Deployed, missing, or incorrect airbag
- Retrieved through salvage
VIN counts for each sub-category provided in the discussion below are estimates and will be confirmed prior to final document submission by NHTSA recall ID. It is important to note that a particular VIN may qualify for accounting under multiple data sources and/or sub-categories in the breakdown below. In such a case, Nissan would select the most appropriate category based on all available information. For example, a Takata passenger airbag was recovered and destroyed through salvage yard collection in January 2020. Nissan received notice that the subject vehicle was seen at auction in March 2020 and has not been registered by a new owner yet. While the VIN shows recent in-commercial transit status, Nissan has evidence the recalled airbag has previously been removed from the vehicle and is no longer a safety risk. Therefore, Nissan will disposition the VIN as ‘Retrieved through salvage’.
For the purposes of this explanation, Nissan has attempted to remove the majority of VIN duplication across subcategories to illustrate the expected impact and distribution across each NHTSA recall ID. Upon implementation of the expanded ‘Other’ category, each VIN will receive a unique disposition based on the most recent data and analysis.
| Deployed, Missing, Incorrect | Retrieved through Salvage | |||||
| Recall ID | RAS | DRN/MS | Dealer Deferment | HBP | Incident reports (Deployment Claims) | RAS |
| 15V-226 | 10 | 0 | 0 | 20 | 0 | 166 |
| 15V-287 | 763 | 35 | 33 | 1,547 | 25 | 15,953 |
| 16V-349 | 134 | 4 | 0 | 789 | 2 | 4,574 |
| 17V-028 | 32 | 0 | 0 | 277 | 0 | 1,531 |
| 17V-068 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |
| 17V-449 | 240 | 4 | 12 | 2,374 | 9 | 6,366 |
| 18V-044 | 13 | 0 | 0 | 246 | 0 | 589 |
| 18V-401 | 22 | 0 | 0 | 565 | 0 | 943 |
| 18V-452 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 1 |
| 20V-008 | 364 | 7 | 0 | 1,538 | 2 | 3,498 |
While this volume of VINs is relatively small in relation to the overall Takata affected population, Nissan believes it is important to accurately account for them. For applicable VINs in these sub-categories, Nissan intends to close the recall due to the fact that the affected Takata airbag is no longer a safety risk for the affected vehicle (VIN). Leaving the recall open when the Takata airbag is no longer present may create confusion and unintended consequences in the future. For example, the VIN look-up and CarFax report would continue to reflect an open recall for a VIN no longer affected. New owners, IRFs, insurers and other third parties could be frustrated by inaccurate notices of a need to replace an airbag inflator that is no longer with the vehicle, increasing the risk that recall notices will not be deemed credible. Additionally, as the industry is working with state legislators and DMVs to notify owners of open recalls or even restrict re-registration of vehicles with open recalls, the unnecessarily open recalls may hinder these important efforts.
Closing the recall after confirming the Takata airbag is no longer a risk will improve the reliability of recall data for all parties who reference it. In addition, Nissan is better able to focus outreach efforts on customers with vehicles still on the road and affected by the defective Takata airbags, prepare and allocate parts supply more efficiently, and report more accurate recall completions in accordance with ACRO Paragraph 45.
Deployed, missing, or incorrect airbag
These are vehicles for which Nissan has confirmed the affected Takata airbags have deployed or are missing, or are not the original equipment and therefore the affected Takata airbags no longer pose a safety risk to the affected vehicle (VIN). In our review of records to date, only six (6) vehicles eligible for this sub-category are due to incorrect airbag. Evidence of deployed, missing or incorrect airbag is collected from a variety of sources, including but not limited to, salvage yard engagement, auction records, incident investigation reports, canvas agent records and dealer records. Photo evidence and owner signatures are obtained whenever possible; however, if not available, Nissan will assess if available documentation is sufficient. For example, an authorized Nissan dealer submits a
Dealer Campaign deferment form indicating that upon inspection of the vehicle, it was confirmed the affected Takata passenger airbag is missing. Photo evidence and owner signature were not included with the form, but given the dealer record, Nissan will consider the form itself sufficient. Due to the fact that the affected Takata airbag is no longer a safety risk for the affected vehicle (VIN), Nissan will close the recall for this VIN, documenting the reason for closure as “Deployed, missing, or incorrect airbag”.
Potential data inclusion
- RAS – deployed, missing with photo evidence
- DRN/MS – agent report of deployed, missing with proper documentation
- Dealer Campaign deferment form – deployed, missing, incorrect
- HBP – deployed
- General Order rupture allegation reports, airbag incident claims – deployed
Retrieved through salvage
These are vehicles for which Nissan has confirmed the affected Takata airbags have been collected from salvage yards and subsequently destroyed, permanently removing them from the stream of commerce. Evidence of the airbag collection, inflator tie-in to VIN, and disposal are provided to Nissan through its engagement with Rebuilders Automotive Supply. Due to the fact that the affected Takata airbag is no longer a safety risk for the affected vehicle (VIN), Nissan will close the recall, documenting the reason for closure as “Retrieved through salvage”.
Potential data inclusion
RAS – recovered
Nissan intends to implement use of the expanded other category as defined above, beginning with the December 18, 2020 Takata Dashboard and subsequent quarterly completion reporting. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me.

- Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:
1%[1]
To date, there are no inflator ruptures during ballistic testing of returned inflators or confirmed field incidents of Nissan vehicles equipped with PSPI, PSPI6 or SPI inflators in the population of inflators used as an interim remedy.
- Description of the Defect:
According to Takata Defect Report 20E-001, Takata has determined that a defect related to motor vehicle safety may arise in some of the subject non-desiccated ammonium nitrate inflators due to propellant degradation occurring after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures and high temperature cycling. Activation of a non-desiccated ammonium nitrate inflator with degraded propellant may result in an inflator rupture. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.
- Chronology of Principal Events:
January 2, 2020 – As specified in the Amended Takata Consent Order, Takata submitted Defect Information Report 20E-001.
January 2, 2020 – Based on the information in the Takata Defect Information Report and out of abundance of caution, Nissan decided to conduct a safety recall on the subject vehicles in accordance with the schedule set forth in Paragraph 33 of the Third Amendment to The Coordinated Remedy Order.
- Description of Corrective Action:
Dealers will be notified on January 15, 2020. Nissan will begin notifying all affected vehicle owners by first class mail beginning February 10, 2020. The front passenger air bag inflators will be replaced with new desiccated inflators manufactured by a different supplier, at no cost to owners for parts or labor.
After Part 577 notification is completed, additional outreach efforts will be undertaken consistent with previous Takata Monitor recommendations.
Your office will be provided with the final Part 577 owner notification. Nissan will include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification concerning reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy.
- Copy of Notices:
Copies of all notices will be provided to NHTSA and Takata Monitor as they become available.

1 Associated Investigation
Air Bag Inflator Rupture
NHTSA ID: EA15001
Dated opened: February 24, 2015
The Office of Defects Investigation (ODI) opened PE14-016 in June 2014 based on six inflator rupture incidents involving consumer owned vehicles produced by five vehicle manufacturers. All six vehicles were operated in Florida or Puerto Rico at the time of the rupture and for the majority of their service life, and were equipped with inflators produced by Takata, a tier-one supplier of automotive air bag systems.
During the course of PE14-016, ODI determined that five additional vehicle manufacturers used inflators of a similar design and vintage also supplied by Takata. No evidence of field failures was found in vehicles produced by these five additional manufacturers. Nonetheless, at ODI’s insistence, all 10 vehicle manufacturers initiated a regional recall within approximately two weeks of the opening of the investigation. The regions recalled initially included Florida, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, areas with high absolute humidity and climatic conditions believed to be a significant factor in the inflator ruptures. As part of the recall actions, inflators removed from remedied vehicles are to be returned to Takata for testing.
Takata’s initial test results on passenger inflators from remedied vehicles indicated a much higher than anticipated rupture frequency for inflators returned from Florida. Accordingly ODI requested all 10 manufacturers expand the regional recalls for passenger inflators to include other geographic areas where high absolute humidity conditions exist, including the Gulf States and other coastal areas. Takata’s testing of the passenger inflators to date continues to indicate this geographic area as having the highest risk, with no ruptures occurring from inflators returned from outside the expanded recall regions. During PE14-016 four additional passenger inflator field events occurred, all in vehicles from the same expanded geographic region.
Also during PE14-016 four additional driver inflator field events occurred including two in vehicles from regions not known for high absolute humidity, specifically California and North Carolina. Accordingly, ODI requested all five of the affected vehicle manufacturers currently using the subject Takata driver inflators expand to nationwide recalls. Significantly, neither of the affected vehicle manufacturers or Takata provided any explanation to account for these two driver air bag inflator ruptures outside the area of high absolute humidity. Takata testing of returned driver inflators indicates a lower rupture frequency as compared to passenger inflator testing. All test ruptures reported by Takata to date have occurred on inflators returned from high absolute humidity areas.
The investigation now includes all manufacturers and vehicles known to be affected at this time. ODI’s investigation will focus on, among other things, root cause analysis, other potential defect consequences, identification of affected vehicles scope, and adequacy of the remedy.
The five ODI reports cited above can be reviewed online at https://www-odi.nhtsa.dot.gov/owners/SearchNHTSAID under the following identification numbers: 10537899, 10568848, 10585224, 10605877, 10651492
