The 2008 Nissan Quest has 3 recalls, the most serious being a driver's airbag cover emblem that can crack, break free during deployment, and fly into the cabin as a projectile.
Two of the three recalls concern the front seat track assemblies on vehicles with manually adjustable seats. The seat tracks may have been built with undersized slots, which can prevent the locking pawl from fully engaging when the seat is adjusted. A pawl that does not seat properly means the seat may not stay locked in position during a crash, allowing it to shift and reducing the protection the seatbelt and headrest can provide. The airbag concern is separate: the resin emblem on the driver's airbag cover can develop cracks over time and detach when the bag fires, turning the emblem into a loose fragment that can strike the driver or a front passenger.
