Nissan Patrol And Navara Takata Airbag Recall Expanded

Nissan has revised its recall list for the ongoing Takata airbag saga, with new examples of the Navara pickup and Patrol 4WD now included.

Specifically, a range of Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) for the D22 Navara and Y61 Patrol are affected, with this latest recall centred around the front passenger airbag.

As with other Takata airbag recalls, the problem stems from the airbag’s inflator unit.

Over time, the unit may be affected by moisture, and an activated airbag may cause the unit’s metal casing to fracture.

During a collision, a deployed airbag may then project metal fragments from the inflator casing into the cabin, potentially causing injury or even death to the vehicle occupants.
