Nissan recall due to faulty airbag sensors

Nissan is recalling the Altima, Leaf, Pathfinder, Sentra and Infiniti JX35 vehicles from model year 2013 due to a problem with passenger airbag sensors.

According to NHTSA, there's a chance the sensors within the passenger Occupant Detection System (ODS) were manufactured out of specification, which could keep the passenger airbags from deploying in a crash.

Nissan will notify owners in April, and dealers will inspect affected vehicles, replacing faulty sensors at no charge to the customer. Owners may contact Nissan Customer Service for more information at 1-800-647-7261.
