Whether your car is affected and still needs the repair depends on its VIN or registration. Check it on the official site for your country:

  1. Passenger airbag inflator may need replacement

    Reported August 17, 2018Model years 2004–2012DVSA recall R/2018/100138,115 vehicles affected

    A non-desiccated passenger airbag inflator was fitted during an earlier repair. Replace it with a new desiccated inflator.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    A NON-DESSICATED PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS USED DURING PREVIOUS RECALL TO REPLACE THIS COMPONENT
    Defect
    In 2013 Nissan announced a Recall campaign to replace Takata SPI front passenger airbag inflators. A non-dessicated passenger airbag inflator was used for the replacement. Although there have been no known incidents associated with inflators of this type Nissan has decided to replace all inflators previously repaired with a non-dessicated inflator to a new dessicated version.
    Remedy
    Replace the front passenger airbag inflator with a new dessicated type.
  2. Airbag inflators checked in an earlier recall to be replaced

    Reported December 11, 2017Model years 2004–2012DVSA recall R/2017/279196,590 vehicles affected

    Inflators previously checked and deemed serviceable will be replaced with new airbag assemblies as a precaution.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    REPLACE AIRBAG INFLATORS CHECKED BUT NOT REPLACED UNDER PREVIOUS RECALL R/2015/093
    Defect
    The air bag inflators on affected vehicles were previously checked and deemed to be serviceable. As a precautionary measure the manufacturer has decided to replace them with new assemblies.
    Remedy
    On affected vehicles replace air bag assembly.
  3. Passenger airbag inflator may deploy abnormally

    Reported June 26, 2017Model years 2001DVSA recall R/2017/03918 vehicles affected

    The passenger airbag inflator propellant may deteriorate and cause abnormal deployment. In extreme circumstances, pressure could build up and separate the airbag housing. The front passenger airbag module will be replaced.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    AIRBAG MAY FAIL
    Defect
    The airbag manufacturer have informed Nissan of a potential concern with propellant degradation of Front Passenger Airbag fitted with Smokeless Passenger Inflator (SPI). It has been confirmed that this degradation is a function of time temperature and environmental moisture. Deterioration of the Inflator propellant may under certain usage conditions lead to abnormal deployment of the Passenger Airbag. In an extreme situation this condition could create excessive pressure within the inflator during airbag deployment and may result in separation of the airbag housing.
    Remedy
    Recall all affected vehicles to replace the front passenger airbag module with a new quality controlled item.
  4. Passenger airbag inflator propellant may deteriorate

    Reported November 16, 2015Model years 2004–2007DVSA recall R/2015/093398,100 vehicles affected

    A possible air leak may let moisture into the passenger airbag inflator and deteriorate its propellant. The airbag may deploy abnormally, and its housing could separate and injure occupants. The airbag assembly will be inspected and the inflator replaced if needed.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
    Defect
    The manufacturer has identified that a potential air leak at the passenger airbag inflators which may allow moisture to enter the airbag inflator causing the propellant in the inflator units to deteriorate. Deterioration of the propellant may lead to abnormal deployment of the passenger airbag. In an extreme situation this may result in separation of the airbag housing during deployment causing injury to occupants.
    Remedy
    Inspect air bag assembly and where required replace air bag inflator
  5. Engine may stall at idle

    Reported November 4, 2013Model years 2006–2009DVSA recall R/2013/109113 vehicles affected

    Wear in the accelerator pedal position sensor may limit acceleration and, in extreme cases with dust in the throttle valve, cause the engine to stall at idle. Dealers will replace the throttle pedal assembly.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    ENGINE MAY STALL
    Defect
    It has been identified that the accelerator pedal position sensor located in the accelerator pedal assembly may provide an incorrect signal due to sensor terminal wear. If this occurs the ECM will detect the sensor failure and illuminate the engine management waning lamp on the dash. It will also control and` limit vehicle acceleration. However in extreme case if this situation occurs and there is excessive dust in the throttle valve which could affect the amount of intake air then the engine could stall at idle speed.
    Remedy
    Recall all affected vehicles and replace the throttle pedal assembly.
  6. Passenger airbag inflator may rupture

    Reported April 22, 2013Model years 2001–2003DVSA recall R/2013/050590,080 vehicles affected

    Improperly made propellant wafers may cause the passenger airbag inflator to rupture and the airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash, increasing injury risk and possibly causing a fire. The inflator module will be inspected and replaced if necessary.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
    Defect
    The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
    Remedy
    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.
  7. Passenger airbag inflator may rupture

    Reported July 14, 2010Model years 2001DVSA recall R/2010/0778 vehicles affected

    The airbag propellant may burn too quickly, causing excessive pressure that could rupture the inflator casing and scatter metal fragments. The front passenger airbag assembly will be replaced.

    Official DVSA recall text
    Component
    IF DEPLOYED THE AIRBAG MAY ENDANGER PASSENGER
    Defect
    The combustion rate of the airbag propellant may be too fast causing excessive internal pressure in the inflator during airbag deployment. In an extreme case the inflator casing may rupture leading to a scattering of metal fragments.
    Remedy
    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the front passenger airbag assembly.
