Hi Guys,

I just read about a notification of a new recall impacting some D22 Navaras (range un-known at this stage).

Details as follows:

What are the defects?
Some airbag inflators were manufactured out of specification, which can create excessive pressure within the inflator during air bag deployment and result in abnormal deployment.

What are the hazards?
If the defect occurs, the airbag may not adequately protect occupants in the event of a collision.

Where the product was sold

Traders who sold this product

A letter will be sent to affected owners. Customers may contact a local Nissan dealer to arrange for inspection and, where necessary, rectification of the front passenger airbag inflator.

The recall action is due to commence in May 2013, subject to parts availability.

I believe it's the for the last couple of years.
If you get a letter in the mail then it affects you.

T30 X Trails built from 2000 - 2004 are affected which probably means that early model D22's could get the recall.
If you brought the car second hand you will not get the letter, instead call Nissan Customer Service on 1800 035 035
