Nissan has issued a recall for 134,215 Infiniti G35 coupe and sedan vehicles from the 2005-2007 model years, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. The recall is due to a potential malfunction with the airbags.
It affects sedans manufactured from March 29, 2004 through August 25, 2006 and coupes manufactured from April 1, 2004 through May 30, 2007. These vehicles could have a defect in the wire harness that connects the seat belt tension sensor and the occupant detection sensor control unit under the front passenger seat. The wire harness can move in such a way that causes wear and oxidization of the terminals, which can interrupt the signal.
In the event of a crash, this can cause the airbag to fail to deploy, which could result in injury or even a fatality. Nissan has not yet said how it will fix the problem or given a notification schedule.
