Airbag

On certain vehicles, the 3rd-row curtain side-impact airbag on the driver's side may have been installed slightly out of position during vehicle assembly. This could cause the airbag to inflate in a manner different than designed or not inflate at all. The most likely result of this mis-installation is a delayed deployment. Nissan testing has determined that the delay would be about 20 msc compared with the design intent, and the bag will still be inflated before a 3rd-row occupant might interact with it in a side impact crash. Testing also determined that in the event of a non-deployment, the vehicle still exceeds all safety requirements in the third row seats. Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if required, reposition the 3rd-row curtain side-impact airbag. This action is deemed a voluntary service campaign and is not being conducted under the Motor Vehicel Safety Act.
