5. AIRBAG MAY FAIL

   R/2017/039 · 26 Jun 2017

   26 Jun 2017

   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.

6. BACK DOORS / HATCHBACK MAY BE UNSUPPORTED WHEN OPEN

   R/2016/081 · 31 Aug 2016

   31 Aug 2016

   Defect

   The paint coating applied to the back door gas stay does not comply with the design requirement for anti-corrosion. Therefore the outer tube of the gas stay may corrode and crack resulting in the loss of the pressurised gas inside the gas stay. In this condition the gas stay would be unable to support the opening of the back door allowing it to drop on the vehicle user.

   Remedy

   Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the back door gas stay.

   16 Nov 2015

   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

    22 Oct 2012

    Defect

    The engine bay insulation for right hand drive vehicles equipped with 2.0 l diesel engine (M9R) engine may have insufficient clearance from the turbocharger. In extreme cases this may cause the insulation to smoulder due to the high temperature of the turbocharger.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit an additional bracket to position the engine bay insulation away from the turbocharger.
