Recall Alert: 2006 Nissan Sentra
Vehicles Affected: Approximately 45,000 model-year 2006 Nissan Sentra sedans manufactured Jan. 2 to Aug. 26, 2006. Only models originally sold or currently registered in high absolute humidity locations are affected. Regions include Puerto Rico, Hawaii, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, Saipan, American Samoa, Florida and adjacent counties in southern Georgia, as well as the coastal areas of Alabama, Louisiana, Mississippi and Texas.
The Problem: If the passenger-side front airbag deploys, the inflator could rupture, possibly propelling metal fragments into the car’s occupants. This is an expansion of a previous Sentra recall and part of the massive ongoing Takata airbag recall that so far has affected millions of vehicles from 10 automakers.
The Fix: Dealers will replace the passenger air bag inflator for free.
What Owners Should Do: Nissan has not yet provided an owner notification schedule. Owners can call Nissan at 800-647-7261 or the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration at 888-327-4236 for more information.
