Nissan issues ‘Do Not Drive’ warning for nearly 84,000 vehicles, says NHTSA

According to NHTSA, Nissan has issued a “Do Not Drive” warning today for 83,920 model year 2002-2006 vehicles equipped with recalled, unrepaired Takata air bags. “If you have one of these vehicles, do not drive it until the repair is completed and the defective air bag is replaced,” NHTSA said. The warning covers certain model year 2002-2006 Nissan Sentra, 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder and 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4 vehicles that are subject to open Takata air bag recalls under NHTSA recall campaigns 20V-008 and 20V-747. NHTSA is urging all vehicle owners to immediately check to see if their vehicle has an open Takata air bag recall. If it does, owners should contact their dealership to schedule a free repair as soon as possible and follow any warnings from the vehicle manufacturer. Nissan and Infiniti are offering free towing, mobile repair, and in select locations, loaner vehicles.
