Nissan Issues Recall of Infiniti G35 Models

Nissan North America rolled out a voluntary recall on Tuesday of approximately 134,000 Infiniti G35 models to address a possible passenger air bag harness connector issue. 

The automaker said the campaign involves model-year 2005 to 2006 G35 sedans and model-year 2005 to 2007 G35 coupes. The company insisted that only on a small percentage of the potentially affected vehicles have a harness connector issue that could cause the passenger air bag to shut off.  

Nissan explained a red warning light flashes and the amber front passenger air bag status light illuminates to alert the driver that the passenger air bag is not operating correctly. 

They believe franchise dealers can inspect and repair the passenger air bag harness to correct any problems.

In a related matter that came out on Tuesday, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration also discussed a recall involving the same Infiniti models. 

The NHSTA Office of Defect Investigations indicated Nissan plans to recall the same Infiniti units from the previously mentioned model years to correct a wire harness connecting the belt tension sensor and occupant tension sensor. Officials believe the control unit under the front passenger seat can experience relative movement, causing wear and oxidation of the terminals.
