Frequently Asked Questions

Is this a safety recall?

Yes.

What is the reason for safety recall?

However, if the vehicle continues to be operated with this condition, the leak could potentially create an electric short, which in rare instances, could result in a fire.

What will be the corrective action for this voluntary safety recall campaign?

The dealer will inspect the serial number of the ABS actuator and, if affected, replace the actuator with a new one free of charge. If your vehicle was inspected as part of a previous recall (16V-636), your ABS actuator will be replaced with a new one, at no cost you.

Takata Do Not Drive Advisory Information

The following Nissan vehicles are subject to the Do Not Drive Advisory:

MODEL	MODEL YEAR
Sentra	2002-2006
Pathfinder	2002-2004

Reason for Recall

Nissan is issuing an immediate DO NOT DRIVE warning for certain model year 2002-2006 Nissan Sentra and 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder vehicles in the United States and Canada affected by open Takata airbag recalls. This warning applies to approximately 84,000 vehicles. Nissan strongly advises drivers not to drive affected vehicles until the FREE repair has been completed.

Due to the age of the vehicles equipped with defective Takata airbag inflators, there is an increased risk the inflator could explode during an airbag deployment, propelling sharp metal fragments which can cause serious injury or death. Drivers are urged to stop driving the vehicle immediately and contact their local authorized Nissan dealer to schedule the necessary free repair. Dealers are prepared to provide free towing; options including mobile repair or a loaner car are also available in select locations. To check if your vehicle is part of this important safety recall, please visit the Nissan official recall webpage at https://www.nissanusa.com/takata-airbag-recall and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN).

Nissan's do not drive warning is the most recent effort in an extensive, multi-year campaign to communicate the risk of driving vehicles with defective Takata inflators and urge drivers to complete the free recall repair. For additional questions or concerns, Nissan customers can reach Customer Affairs at 800-NISSAN-1.
