The problem
Nissan is recalling model year 2008 Nissan armada and Infiniti qx56 vehicles manufactured from February 7, 2007 through February 14, 2007. These vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 201, "protection in interior impact." an out-of-specification a-pillar finisher might impede the correct inflation of the side curtain air bag near the upper portion of the b-pillar.
The risk
Incorrect inflation of the side curtain air bag May increase the risk of injury to a vehicle occupant in the event of a crash requiring deployment of that air bag.
The fix
Dealers will replace both right and left front pillar finishers free of charge. The safety recall began on August 16, 2010. Owners May contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
