2001 NISSAN MAXIMA Recalls Canada & USA

2001 NISSAN MAXIMA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2001 Nissan Maxima has two recalls of equal severity: a passenger airbag inflator that can rupture during deployment and send fragments into the cabin, and a front suspension pin that can break and cause loss of steering control. The airbag concern involves the frontal passenger-side inflator, which can build excessive pressure and burst, either throwing metal fragments toward occupants or preventing the airbag from deploying properly in a crash. On the suspension side, a pin connecting the front lower control arm to the frame can fracture, which may first show up as a knocking sound before steering becomes unpredictable and difficult to manage.

AIRBAG

Defect

On certain vehicles, the passenger (frontal) airbag inflator could produce excessive internal pressure during airbag deployment. Increased pressure may cause the inflator to rupture, which could allow fragments to be propelled toward vehicle occupants, increasing the risk of injury. This could also damage the airbag module, which could prevent proper deployment. Failure of the passenger airbag to fully deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of personal injury to the seat occupant.

Safety Risk

No risk description available.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the passenger airbag inflator.
