2015 NISSAN MICRA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2015 Nissan Micra has two recalls, both involving the airbag system: a potentially rupturing driver's frontal airbag inflator that can send fragments into the cabin during a crash, and a side airbag sensor with a faulty connection that can lower the threshold needed to trigger a side airbag deployment. The frontal airbag concern involves an incorrect inflator component that can burst when the airbag fires, breaking apart and projecting debris toward the driver. The side airbag issue stems from a loose sensor connector that can briefly lose contact with the airbag control unit, pushing the system into a backup mode where a side airbag may deploy in a lower-severity impact than intended.
