Every line below is in NHTSA’s own words, with its source beside it.
What’s wrong with it?
A passenger air bag that fails to deploy in the event of a crash can increase the risk of injury.
Nissan North America, Inc.
(Nissan) is recalling certain 2017 Infiniti QX30 vehicles manufactured August 11, 2016, to September 27, 2016.
The affected vehicles have a passenger air bag inflator initiator that may fail to ignite during a crash, preventing the air bag from deploying.
As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (FMVSS) number 208, “Occupant Crash Protection.”
