The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is looking into Nissan’s March 2014 airbag software recall to determine its effectiveness.



The Detroit News reports the recall — involving the vehicle’s occupant classification system finding the front passenger seat empty when the seat is occupied by an adult; thus, shutting off the passenger-side airbag — affected 989,701 of the following Nissan and Infiniti models:



  • 2013-2014 Altima

  • 2013-2014 Leaf

  • 2013-2014 Pathfinder

  • 2013-2014 Sentra

  • 2013 NV200

  • 2013 JX35

  • 2014 Q50

  • 2014 QX60


The NHTSA’s review of the recall comes after 124 complaints about the problem persisting, even after multiple attempts to rectify the issue. The agency will determine if a new recall is needed.
