    AIRBAG MAY FAIL

    Defect

    The airbag manufacturer have informed Nissan of a potential concern with propellant degradation of Front Passenger Airbag fitted with Smokeless Passenger Inflator (SPI). It has been confirmed that this degradation is a function of time temperature and environmental moisture. Deterioration of the Inflator propellant may under certain usage conditions lead to abnormal deployment of the Passenger Airbag. In an extreme situation this condition could create excessive pressure within the inflator during airbag deployment and may result in separation of the airbag housing.

    Remedy

    Recall all affected vehicles to replace the front passenger airbag module with a new quality controlled item.

    DRIVER AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY

    Defect

    The driver�s airbag was manufactured with an incorrectly manufactured airbag inflator initiator that may not ignite when a deployment voltage is provided to the initiator. As a result vehicles may experience a �non-deployment� of the driver airbag during a crash event warranting an airbag deployment which could increase the risk of injury.

    Remedy

    Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected and replace the driver airbag unit (initiator included) with a quality assured unit.

    TRANSMISSION CAN CHANGE GEAR WITHOUT CONTROL FROM DRIVER

    Defect

    As part of a software update the stored adjustment settings for the automatic clutch were not deleted and re-taught. These stored settings are incompatible with the updated software and can result in incorrect operation in certain circumstances. This may adversely affect gear changes including uncommanded selection of neutral. If neutral is selected manual gear selection will be available.

    Remedy

    On affected vehicles the clutch software will be re-installed and the system re-taught.

    Defect

    The ball head connecting the brake pedal and the master brake cylinder the ball head might not be locked properly into the ball cage. If the driver accidentally pulls up the brake pedal the brake switch would be activated permanently. This will cause: The brake lamps to be illuminated even while driving A Check Control Message would not alert the driver. An engine start or gear selection would be possible without brake actuation. If the driver's door were opened after switching off the engine the gear would not switch automatically to P as designed.
