Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2024 Titan, Frontier, Infiniti QX60, Pathfinder, 2023-2024 Sentra, Versa, Kicks, Infiniti QX50, and 2023 Rogue vehicles. Due to a manufacturing issue, the driver's air bag inflator may absorb moisture, and cause the air bag to deploy improperly.
Risk: An air bag that deploys improperly may not protect the driver as intended during a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Fix: Dealers will replace the front driver's air bag assembly, free of charge. Owner notification letters were mailed April 10, 2024. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669. Nissan's numbers for this recall are PD103, PD104, and PMA34.

The system falsely beeps and displays collision alerts even when no vehicles or objects are present. The system has also initiated braking on the highway with no obstacle present, which is a major safety concern for me and for other drivers. Conversely, when an actual vehicle approached too closely, the system failed to alert or respond at all.

I was driving from [XXX] to [XXX] on Saturday, March 28th. I started smelling a strong, chemical odor and my eyes started burning and watering, so I pulled off of the highway and found that my back passenger side seat heater had started burning. There was a pillow and a down jacket on the seat that also burned. It really scared me because I was in the middle of nowhere and only had a cup with ice, but luckily there was a mud puddle that I was able to get some water from and pour on the back seat. My granddaughter was riding in that seat in her booster seat the night before. I am thankful she or no one else was in the seat when it burned. There were no warning lights or messages appear - I just smelled the burning. I had to continue to drive the car with the windows down to my son's home in West Virginia, and on Monday, March 30th, we took the car and dropped it off at the nearest Infiniti dealership (Cochran Infiniti in Monroeville, PA). We spoke with the service manager and many employees came to inspect and they all said they had never seen anything like this before. They confirmed there had been no recalls on the vehicle.
