## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain 2015\-2017 LEAF and 2014, 2016 and 2017 Sentra vehicles.  Due to a manufacturing error within the air bag inflators, the passenger frontal air bag may not properly deploy in the event of a crash.


## What can happen

In the event of a crash, if the front passenger air bag doesn't deploy properly, it can increase the risk of injury to passengers.


## The remedy

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflator, free of charge.  The recall began June 7, 2017.  Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1\-800\-647\-7261.
