NEWS:
Nissan recalls vehicles over air
bag concerns
WASHINGTON --
(AP) -- October 15, 2008 -- Nissan Motor Co.
said Wednesday it was recalling more than
200,000 vehicles in the U.S. and overseas to
fix a sensor system that could affect the
car's passenger side air bag.
Nissan said the recall includes 140,000
Nissan Altima cars from the 2007-2008
model years. It also involves 2007-2008
model years of the Infiniti EX35, G35
Sedan, G37 and the Nissan 350Z,
Murano and Rogue.
Nissan spokesman Colin Price said there have
been no injuries or crashes, and the company
discovered the problem during internal
testing. Most of the recalled vehicles are
in the United States; others are in Mexico,
Canada, Puerto Rico and the Persian Gulf.
Nissan said the recall affects vehicles
equipped with Continental Automotive
Systems' Occupant Classification System
control units. An electronic component in
the control unit located in the passenger
seat cushion may have been made out of
specification.
The Japanese automaker said that could
interrupt a signal in the sensor system and
prevent the passenger air bag from deploying
under certain conditions.
The recall is expected to begin in early
November

RECALL INFO:
OCTOBER
2008 -- Nissan is recalling 204,361 MY
2007-2008 Altima, Altima Coupe, 350Z, Murano,
Rogue; and Infiniti G35 Sedan, G37 Coupe and
EX35 passenger vehicles equipped with
Continental Automotive Systems’ occupant
classification system (OCS) control units. A
varistor in the OCS control unit located in
the passenger seat cushion may have been
manufactured out of specification. Under
certain conditions, this could cause an
interruption of signal between the OCS and
the air bag control unit (ACU). This could
result in the passenger air bag being
suppressed which could fail to provide
adequate protection in the event of a crash.
Dealers will test the signal between the OCS
and ACU systems using a special tool to
check that it is functioning as designed. If
necessary, the seat cushion (containing OCS
hardware) will be replaced with a new one
manufactured to specification. The recall is
expected to begin during November 3, 2008.
