TAKATA RECALL: LOCAL NISSAN DEALERSHIP (SANDY SANSING NISSAN, PENSACOLA FLORIDA) WAS CONTACTED BY US SEVERAL TIMES OVER THE PAST 4 MONTHS, REQUESTING INFORMATION ON THIS RECALL. WE WERE TOLD THE PART TO REPAIR THE AIRBAG IS NOT AVAILABLE AND WON'T BE UNTIL SPRING 2018. WHEN I CALLED AGAIN TODAY, I WAS TOLD THE SAME THING, BUT ALSO TOLD BY THE NISSAN SERVICEMAN, "THIS IS A VOLUNTARY RECALL BY NISSAN, DONE OUT OF AN ABUNDANCE OF CAUTION. NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT." I ASKED HIM IF IT WAS THE AIRBAG RECALL THAT HAD BEEN IN THE PRESS FOR THE PAST FEW YEARS FOR TAKATA AND HE SAID, "NO. THIS IS A DIFFERENT PART - JUST REPLACING THE INFLATORS AND ISN'T ANYTHING TO WORRY ABOUT. THERE IS NO THREAT TO LIFE OR WELL BEING OF DRIVERS OR PASSENGERS." I ASKED IF HE WOULD CALL ME WHEN THE PARTS ARE AVAILABLE AND HE SAID, "NO, BUT YOU CAN CALL ME EVERY FEW WEEKS TO SEE IF THE PARTS ARE IN." I LOOKED UP THE RECALL ON THE NHTSA WEBSITE AND IT IS, INDEED THE TAKATA RECALL THAT PEOPLE HAVE DIED AND/OR BEEN SERIOUSLY INJURED FROM THE AIRBAGS BEING FAULTY. THIS IS MY 18 YEAR OLD SON'S CAR. I'M REALLY TICKED OFF AND CONCERNED.

TAKATA AIR BAG RECALL, BEING CHARGED TO FIX!! I HAVE 2 AIRBAG RECALLS. I'VE HAD A RENTAL FOR 3 MONTHS WHILE AWAITING PARTS (EXPECTED SPRING 2018) ON 12/19/07, ADAM RUEHMAN, (SERVICE ADVISOR) CALLS ME & TELLS ME HE'S GETTING "SCREAMED AT" BECAUSE I'VE HAD THE RENTAL SO LONG. HE SAID THAT HE HAD MY AIRBAG READY. I ASKED HIM IF HE HAD BOTH, BECAUSE THAT WAS STRANGE. I CALLED NISSAN HEADQUARTERS WHO CONFIRMED THAT THEY DID NOT HAVE BOTH AIRBAGS, ONLY ONE. THAT I CAN TAKE MY CAR TO FIX ONE & KEEP THE RENTAL UNTIL THEY GOT THE OTHER ONE. I HAD TO WORK SO I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL THE MORNING. THE NEXT DAY,12/20, ADAM CALLS ME TELLING ME AGAIN, THAT THEY HAVE BOTH PARTS. NISSAN HQ CALLS AGAIN & TELLS ME NOW, THAT THE SERVICE DEPT SAID THAT THEY DO HAVE PARTS FOR BOTH AIRBAGS. I BRING MY CAR IN & ADAM TELLS ME THAT IT WILL BE 300$ BECAUSE I NEED A SPRING THAT IS CONNECTED TO THE AIRBAG & THAT'S ALSO THE REASON MY HORN DOESN'T WORK. I TELL HIM THAT I DON'T HAVE ANY MONEY (XMAS TIME) I'M SINGLE MOM & BROKE. I SAID "SO WHAT DO I DO?" HE SAID "SORRY, WE CAN STILL FIX IT, IT JUST WON'T WORK" I DIDN'T TELL HIM HE COULD REPAIR MY CAR WITHOUT THE SPRING THAT I WAS REQUIRED TO PAY FOR. I WAS VERY UPSET & SENT OFF IN A COURTESY VAN TO GO GET THE RENTAL CAR & BRING IT BACK FOR THEM, EXPECTED TO DRIVE MY CAR WITH A RECALL REPAIR THAT WAS DONE INCORRECTLY. I CALLED NISSAN HQ & THEY TOLD ME THAT THE CASE WAS FORWARDED TO A HIGHER DEPARTMENT & IT WILL BE 24 HOURS & THEY COULDN'T HELP ME. I CALLED ADAM @DEALERSHIP & TOLD HIM THAT I'M NOT TAKING MY CAR LIKE THAT BECAUSE IT'S UNSAFE TO DRIVE & NOT RETURNING THE RENTAL UNTIL I HEAR FROM NISSAN HQ. HE SAID OK. SHORTLY AFTER, ADAM LEFT ME VOICEMAILS DEMANDING TO BRING THE RENTAL BACK BECAUSE THE RECALL REPAIR WAS "COMPLETE", & NISSAN WAS NOT GOING TO PAY FOR ANY MORE RENTALS, TO COME PICK UP MY CAR AND THEY WILL CHARGE ME 35$ A DAY FOR THE RENTAL.

EA21002 · Desiccated Air Bag Inflator Rupture

Opened Sep 17, 2021 · No close date supplied

Status: open (inferred from source dates) · Air Bags:frontal:driver Side:inflator Module; Air Bags:frontal:passenger Side:inflator Module

From 2000 through 2017, Takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("PSAN") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004L. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 Blomquist Report at www.nhtsa.gov/sites/nhtsa.gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in US vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004L that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All Takata inflators produced with propellant 2004L contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated PSAN inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- Takata (now known as TK Global), the Independent Testing Coalition, and Exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of Takata desiccated PSAN inflators using propellant 2004L (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004L is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004L.The Office of Defects Investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated PSAN frontal inflators manufactured by Takata. This investigation will require extensive information on Takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated PSAN inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.gov/recalls?nhtsaId=EA21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede EA15-001, which remains open.

PE15019 · Front Coil Spring Fracture

Opened May 13, 2015 · Closed Oct 2, 2015

Status: closed (inferred from source dates) · Suspension:front:springs:coil Springs

In a letter dated September 10,2015, Nissan North America,Inc. (Nissan) notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) of a safety defect that may result in coil spring fracture in approximately 218,019 model year (MY) 2007 through 2012 Nissan Versa vehiclesproduced from May 8, 2006 through November12, 2012 and originally sold or ever registered in the following 22 states and the District of Columbia: Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, Washington D.C., West Virginia and Wisconsin (NHTSA Recall 15V-573).Nissan indicated that the recalled vehicles may contain front coil springs that received inadequate phosphorous coating, have low residual stress, or a combination of both.Surface imperfections resulting from coil-to-coil contact when the spring is compressed may lead to crack initiation.Exposure of the surface imperfections to road salts, in regions with heavy use of road salts for snow and ice control, may promote crack propagation in the spring that could result in spring fracture.If the coil spring fractures it may puncture the front tire and possibly the brake line while driving, which may increase the risk of a vehicle crash.ODI's analysis of complaints it has received from the public (VOQ's) and Nissan complaint data submitted in response to the information request letter for PE15-019 identified a total of 468 non-duplicative reports alleging coil spring fractures in the subject vehicles, including 142 VOQ's and 367 Nissan complaints (41 of the incidents reported to ODI were also reported to Nissan).While the recall region accounts for approximately 43 percent of vehicle sales, the analysis found that 94 percent of the complaints involved vehicles sold or operated in those states.Approximately 27 percent of the VOQ's reporting coil spring failures in the recalled states indicated that the failure resulted in a punctured tire.ODI also identified one complaint that alleged brake line damage from a failed spring.Nissan's recall will replace both coil springs free of charge.Based on Nissan's safety recall, this investigation is closed.The 142 VOQ's referenced in this resume are: 10236143, 10405369, 10443746, 10452956, 10491553, 10497737, 10503060, 10504557, 10512390, 10512975, 10514582, 10516024, 10516085, 10521216, 10522261, 10526334, 10533856, 10537404, 10537407, 10548678, 10552124, 10559853, 10562485, 10565283, 10572591, 10578519, 10583059, 10583154, 10583496, 10583673, 10584979, 10585327, 10585377, 10585751, 10586397, 10586444, 10587798, 10588347, 10588427, 10592366, 10592498, 10592780, 10593373, 10593621, 10595215, 10596802, 10598404, 10598877, 10606859, 10606998, 10610082, 10618059, 10640845, 10644269, 10645075, 10649515, 10653189, 10659632, 10662158, 10663102, 10667071, 10667845, 10669949, 10670829, 10671894, 10676522, 10680544, 10680740, 10682397, 10691419, 10692629, 10693347, 10694156, 10694420, 10701250, 10702765, 10703126, 10704658, 10705882, 10706351, 10711805, 10712045, 10712922, 10714243, 10715041, 10715175, 10716106, 10717254, 10717320, 10717403, 10717412, 10717489, 10717563, 10720958, 10721782, 10721824, 10722113, 10722459, 10722915, 10723873, 10723972, 10723973, 10724158, 10724899, 10725002, 10725328, 10725377, 10725542, 10726251, 10726736, 10726741, 10730138, 10730154, 10730342, 10731050, 10731692, 10731799, 10731901, 10732054, 10732062, 10733059, 10733144, 10733309, 10733349, 10733607, 10733781, 10733854, 10735347, 10735353, 10735606, 10736199, 10736227, 10743474, 10743634, 10743790, 10744
