Nissan has developed a new passenger air bag that is less powerful when it inflates in a crash to reduce the risk of air bag inflation-related injuries. Nissan expects that this new air bag can help reduce the risk of air bag inflation-related injuries. Nissan will replace the passenger air bag at no charge to the consumer.
