What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain 2012 Nissan Versa vehicles. Degradation of the side impact sensor connector pins may cause the curtain and seat-mounted air bags to deploy unexpectedly if the door is slammed.

What can happen

If the curtain and seat-mounted air bags inadvertently deploy, it can increase the risk of injury.

The remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will install a new jumper harness, and replace the side impact satellite sensors, free of charge. The recall began November 28, 2017. 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.

Nissan Aftersale	2019-02-19. Service bulletin. Subject: Takata Completion Objectives for Q4 Nissan is continuing to ask its dealers to urgently help increase customer participation in the Takata recalls and to help it achieve 100% customer recall participation for the following vehicles: - 2007-11 Versa Sedan - 2007-12 Versa Hatchback - 2002-06 Sentra - 2002-04 Pathfinder - 2001-03 Maxima Nissan expects to upload the next refreshed owner list to DBS by the middle of February. At the time of monthly updates, we reassign owner lists based on dealer buy/sells. We anticipate having this automated within DBS by the end of the fiscal year. This is an extremely serious safety issue and Nissan is taking significant and unprecedented steps to increase customer recall participation but it needs dealer help to achieve its remedy goals. A separate communication will be released later this week informing regional personnel of the requirements for bonus payout in Q4. The Q4 objective is based on the average number of repairs in Q3 multiplied by the number of service days in Q4 (Mon-Sat minus any holidays). Dealer engagement is critical with this effort. It is a company-wide responsibility to make it a priority to replace these dangerous airbag inflators in affected vehicles. Further, increasing recall participation represents significant gross profit opportunity for our dealers. Regional personnel can access current completions via the tableau Takata tracker (https://tableau.na.nissan.biz/#/site/SLSMKG/views/TakataCampaignReport/TakataCampaign?:iid=3 ). Q4 objectives will be updated by the end of the week in the tableau Takata tracker, but current overall completion rates are included above.

A bulletin is the manufacturer's note to its dealers. It is not part of this recall.
