Recall Alert: 2004 Nissan Pathfinder, 2004-2006 Nissan Sentra
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 264,000 model-year 2004 Nissan Pathfinder SUVs manufactured from Jan. 6 to July 19, 2004, and model-year 2004-06 Nissan Sentra sedans built from Jan. 7, 2004, to Aug. 26, 2006. This is an expansion of an earlier recall for defective Takata airbags.
The Problem: When the passenger-side frontal airbag is deployed, excessive internal pressure could cause the inflator to rupture. Metal fragments could strike and injure the occupants.
The Fix: The recall is expected to begin on June 15. Dealers will replace the passenger airbag inflator for free.
