The Problem: Nissan is recalling some 2012 Nissan Altima sedans and NV vans because their air bag control units were assembled incorrectly. The units may have been wired incorrectly, which means the air bags may not properly inflate in the event of a crash. If the airbags do not deploy during a crash, the driver or passengers could be injured.
The Fix: Nissan will replace the airbag control unit free of charge, and will begin contacting the affected owners on August 22, 2011. Owners can call Nissan for more information at 1-800-647-7261.
Number of Vehicles Potentially Affected: 32 Nissan Altimas manufactured between June 15, 2011 and June 21, 2011, and 22 Nissan NVs manufactured between June 23, 2011 and June 28, 2011.
