Drivers of certain 2013 QX56 and 2014 QX80 SUV’s could experience incorrect airbag inflation during an accident because of a manufacturing error. Some air bags were built with an incorrect outer baffle component that could cause excessive inflator pressure that could rupture the airbag causing metal fragment to strike and potentially injure vehicle occupants. Owner will be asked to return their vehicles to an Infiniti retailer to have the front driver air bag inflator replaced free of charge.

The recall is expected to begin by late December, but if owners have any questions about the defect, they are asked to contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261. The NHTSA campaign number is 14V-668.
