Nissan recall: Logo can hurt drivers

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) and automaker Nissan have launched a recall campaign in the USA. 404,690 vehicles are currently affected in the USA.

The resin logo on the driver airbag module cover may have reduced durability in the affected vehicles due to potential inconsistencies in the production process. In this case, cracks can develop over time and the emblem and mounting components can separate if the airbag deploys.

These models are currently affected by the recall in the USA:

• Nissan titanium From the production period 09/25/2007 to 04/27/2011
• Nissan Frontier From the production period 09/13/2007 to 12/23/2010
