DETROIT — Nissan and the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are urging owners of thousands of older Nissan and Infiniti vehicles to stop driving the cars — stop right now — because of danger posed by Takata airbag inflators. The urgency of the warning was punctuated by NHTSA's language in the announcement.
A front passenger was killed by an exploding inflator in a 2006 Nissan Sentra, a death reported to NHTSA in 2018. In addition, 58 people have been injured by airbag inflators in Nissans since 2015. And the risk has grown as the cars have aged. If your car is affected, Nissan wants you to contact a dealer. Your car will be towed to the dealership — and the airbag inflators will be replaced for free. In some locations, it's possible that a repair technician will come to you. Loaner cars might be available.
