Nissan warned the owners of nearly 84,000 older vehicles to stop driving them because they are equipped with recalled airbag inflators, which have an increased risk of exploding in a crash, a defect regulators say has killed dozens of people and injured hundreds of others over nearly a decade.
The defective airbags have exploded and killed at least 27 people in the U.S., regulators said.
The “Do Not Drive” warning covers Nissan Sentra vehicles manufactured between 2002 and 2006, Pathfinder vehicles from 2002 to 2004 and 2002 and 2003 Infiniti QX4 vehicles, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Wednesday.
