got a recall letter today from nissan regarding a faulty passenger side airbag..just wonder if any of you guys got any recall letters from nissan,,they say the remedy will be performed by the dealer at no cost or any charges,,the recall code is nhtsa recall 13v-136,,,the letter states that in case of an accident the airbag may rupture and cause more injury to the passenger on the front seat,,,on the letter i received it had my vin number on it,,,it applies to the year of 2001 maximas,,,now i got to make sure if anyone is aware of this,,if so i ll make an appt to the dealership..it s a 2 hour job ,,any comments would be helpful

Be glad you received a letter from Nissan. At least they are being responsible about the issue.

I have two Honda vehicles that are effected by the Takata bag recall. So far no correspondence from them about it and the dealer doesn't want to be bothered.

I've got a 2001 i30 -- got the same recall notice, still have to bring it in sometime.

Ive got a 2003 Max and got the recall, friend with a 2002 TL has got it too, apparently an airbag manufacturer many japanese companies used designed exploding canisters...

old news

Actually I got my recall fairly recently, around a month ago, for a 12 y old car thats significant for an exploding airbag effecting millions of vehicles that can harm passengers.

I got my first notice from my local dealer August 2013. Maybe they're doing phases?

What yr and model? Mines an 03 GLE Could be dealer dependent possibly.

This is what I like about our brand. They may not be the most advertised out there but theyre the most up front about this serious issue. This was from consumer reports as you can see, not a nissan biased site.



This and the fact my max is the first car in my family that has outlived 150000 miles without serious issue and good maintenece. Volks 1970 karmann ghia, 1995 toyota tercel, 1980 mustang 2, 1990 plymouth acclaim, 2000 subaru outback, 1992 Mercury Sable, this is the only car still alive, 2003 Nissan Maxima 164536

2002 GLE. I do get my oil changed at the local dealer so they have my information which may have had an impact.

Uh, oh, wasn't I ranting about these threads just recently


Is he seriously talkin **** about a Tercel? Those things are snails, but bad ***.

tnj9

No, just saying the Max outlived it. The toyota I have now is having serious problems, 07 Rav 4 V6 110k miles and so far countless recalls and times in the shop for misellaneous annoyances my Max hasnt given me so far.

Better be thinking about those precats

Mateen995

you can say byebye to your engine if you don't address them at your mileage

& from my knowledge Nissan won't warn you unless you are in their NissanUSA/Canada database, dealer information doesn't get you a letter in the mail, just notification if you go in for service

My sister and I got letters months ago.

Mateen995

I never got anything, I was only told at the dealer when they entered my VIN couple months after I bought the car

I got a letter for this in Oct 2013. Thanks for telling those that may not have known.

this applied to my 2002, so dont let the thread title deceive you.

tnj9

I believe 01-03 were all affected

tnj9

This just goes to show how serious this is, 2nd letter came today after the 1st came a month or so ago.



Im going in this week to have it fixed. Sorry about sideways, idk why some pics upload in wrong orientation on mobile or how to fix.

maxipower

I wonder how much money this is costing that airbag company in total.
