Nissan/Infiniti Recall

Just figured I'd post this up for any fellow G35 owners here. Just happened this morning.

WASHINGTON -- Nissan Motor Co. said Tuesday it will recall nearly 135,000 Infiniti G35 sedans and coupes to address a problem that could lead to the air bag not deploying in a crash.

Nissan said the recall involves G35 Coupes from the 2005 to 2007 model years and G35 Sedans from the 2005 to 2006 model year.

The automaker says the air bag unit's wire harness under the front passenger seat could wear down and interrupt the air bag's signal. In a crash, the air bag may not deploy and could increase the risk of an injury.

Nissan spokesman Colin Price said there have been no injuries reported.

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Nissan had not yet provided the agency with a plan to fix the vehicles. Price said Nissan would provide NHTSA with information on the repair in May and begin notifying owners of the recall in June.

Price said if a vehicle's red air bag warning light had turned on, the owner can bring their car into their dealer for repair. For more information, owners can call Infiniti at (800) 662-6200.

Well, it also didn't really effect that many....I mean according to the article above, they are only recalling 135,000. Another article I read said about 200,000. This is peanuts compared to the million + recall that Toyota just recently had. Not to mention, this recall only effects someone who gets in an accident with the car. It doesn't cause one like the Toyota recall could lol.

Because honestly, who really expects the air bag to properly deploy when needed.

It is peanuts though in the amount of cars recalled. Also this seems more pro-active, unlike Toyo's clusterflock.

First Toyota starts with the recalls, than Nissan steps up. Soooo Honda is next?

This could have been something as simple as routing the wire through something instead of around it, and its rubbing against a bracket when the seat is adjusted. I don't really think you can compare this to the Toyota recall.
