## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain model year 2017 Versa vehicles manufactured August 1, 2016, to August 16, 2016.  A seam in the fabric section of the side curtain air bags may tear during side curtain air bag deployment, potentially affecting the performance of the air bag.  As such, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard \(FMVSS\) number 226, "Ejection Mitigation", and number 214, "Side Impact Protection."


## What can happen

In the event of a crash necessitating side curtain air bag deployment, if the side curtain air bags do not deploy as intended there would be an increased risk of injury.


## The remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the left and right side curtain air bags, free of charge.  The recall began on December 2, 2016.  Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1\-800\-647\-7261.


## Notes

Owners may also contact the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1\-888\-327\-4236 \(TTY 1\-800\-424\-9153\), or go to www.safercar.gov.
