## What is wrong

Nissan North America, Inc. \(Nissan\) is recalling certain 2002\-2006 Sentra vehicles whose passenger air bags were previously inspected and may have been released without replacing the Takata air bag inflator.  In the event of a crash, Takata frontal passenger air bag inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long\-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.


## What can happen

An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.


## The remedy

Owners are advised not to drive their vehicles until the repair has been completed.  Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will re\-inspect the vehicle and, if necessary, replace the air bag inflator, free of charge.  The recall began January 22, 2021.  Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1\-800\-867\-7669.  Nissan's number for this recall is PM964.
