Due to an issue surrounding the front air bag system,Nissan North America and Infiniti will be conducting a voluntary recall on certain Q45 sedans. The wiring connector for the seat mounted side air bags may not be up to snuff, ultimately leading to a failed deployment. If flawed, the connector could experience an increase in electrical resistance that would “fry” the system. Nissan will remedy the issue not by replacing the wiring, but by “modifying” the connector to work properly.
According the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the cars affected are 2003 through 2005 model years. Official word on how many models could be at risk has yet to be released and or found. Infiniti will contact owners on or around March 12 of this year and instruct them to have their Q45s inspected by a certified dealer. The modification to the wiring connector will take place at no extra charge to drivers and Nissan encourages owners to contact them directly for more information.
