Nissan has recalled five of its 2013 models in the U.S. due to a faulty sensor that can permanently turn off the front-seat passenger air bag, the AJC reports.
The recall includes the following models:
According to documents filed with safety regulators, Nissan hasn’t determined the number of vehicles affected by the recall.
Front passenger seats have built-in sensors that determine a passenger’s weight and turn off the air bags if a child is on board. The malfunctioning sensor can permanently turn off the air bags.
Nissan announced that its dealers will inspect the sensors in April and replace them free of charge if necessary.
