Nissan expands recall of vehicles with Takata airbags.

In continuing coverage of Nissan’s announcement that it would be expanding the latest recalls of cars with Takata-made airbags, the Leftlane News (4/18, King, 4K) website reported that Nissan added about “45,000 decade-old Sentra sedans” to the recall list, “focusing on vehicles that were sold or ever registered in states with high humidity.” Nissan’s statement read that “new field information” has helped the company make its decision, along with “consultation with NHTSA.”

        The Fleet Owner (4/17, Commendatore, 968) website reported that the expanded recall happened “after a woman in Louisiana was injured by shrapnel from an exploding airbag.”
