I RECEIVED A LETTER IN THE MAIL FROM INFINITI INDICATING AN IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL OF THE PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG. THE LETTER INDICATED I WOULD RECEIVE A SECOND NOTICE SOON. I WAITED TWO WEEKS AND DID NOT RECEIVE AN ADDITIONAL NOTICE. I CALLED THE MAIN NATIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS DEPARTMENT AND A CASE WAS OPENED. I HAVE SINCE CALLED FIVE ADDITIONAL TIMES AND RECEIVED NO CALL BACK. NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE TO CORRECT THIS IMPORTANT RECALL. MY CASE NUMBER IS: [XXX]. THIS HAS HAPPENED IN THE PAST REGARDING THE BUBBLING OF MY DASHBOARD. THIS ALSO WAS A RECALL AND WHEN I FINALLY CALLED BECAUSE I DID NOT RECEIVE A NOTICE OF THIS PROBLEM, I WAS TOLD THAT RECALL HAD EXPIRED SO I NO LONGER COULD TAKE ADVANTAGE OF IT. I CONTINUE TO GET THE RUNAROUND EVERY SINGLE TIME I CALL OR EMAIL. I CAN NEVER GET ANSWERS OR ANYTHING FIXED. THIS IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTRATING ESPECIALLY WHEN THE LETTER INDICATED THAT PASSENGERS SHOULD NOT RIDE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT BECAUSE OF THIS RECALL AND DANGER. AGAIN I HAVE NOT HEARD ANYTHING FROM INFINITI AS PROMISED OR WHEN I HAVE CALLED. THE LAST TIME I SPOKE WITH A REPRESENTATIVE WAS ON SEPTEMBER 8. PLEASE HELP. THANK YOU.

TAKATA RECALL SEE ATTACHED NOTIFICATION RECEIVED IN AUGUST OF 2016. NOTE RED AND UNDERLINED AREAS. INFINITI ADVISED OWNERS TO HANDLE THIS RECALL IN AN UNACCEPTABLE WAY FOR TWO REASONS 1. AIRBAG DEPLOYMENT WHILE DRIVING IS LIKELY TO CAUSE A WRECK WHICH COULD ENDANGER OTHERS UNRELATED TO THE RECALL 2. METAL PIECES WOULD NOT JUST HIT THE PASSENGER SEAT, THEY WOULD GO THROUGHOUT THE VEHICLE THE FIRST OF MY MANY CALLS TO INFINITI ENDED WITH NO SOLUTION, NO PLAN FOR LOANER CARS OR REPLACEMENT AND SAYING THEY HAD REALLY BEEN HIT BY SURPRISE. THE SECOND CALL I GOT A CASE NUMBER AND WAS TOLD ALL OF MY CALLS WERE BEING RECORDED. I RECEIVED A CALL FROM INFINITI THAT THEY HAD AN INTERIM FIX, TO CALL MY SERVICE MANAGER AND ASK FOR IT. BUT, THAT WHEN THE REAL REPLACEMENT PART WAS AVAILABLE, THEY WOULD HAVE TO REPLACE THE INTERIM ONE WITH IT. MY SERVICE AGENT TOLD ME, HE CAN'T DO IT BECAUSE IT'S THE SAME PART THAT'S IN THE CAR NOW. IT'S ACTIVITY TO APPEAR THEY ARE DOING SOMETHING. INFINITI CONFIRMED IT BEING THE SAME PART. EACH PERSON HAS A DIFFERENT SPIN, FROM ASKING HOW MANY MILES MY CAR HAS ON IT TO TELLING ME THE INTERIM PART WON'T CAUSE HARM IF THE AIRBAGS ARE DEPLOYED IN AN ACCIDENT (EVEN JUST A FENDER BENDER) BECAUSE THEY PUT BUBBLE WRAP AROUND IT. INFINITI IS NOT COMMUNICATING, NOT BEING HONEST AND ENDANGERING MANY LIVES. THEIR UNETHICAL BUSINESS PRACTICES LEAVE NO DOUBT THAT THEY ARE TRYING TO HIDE WHAT THEY ARE DOING FROM NHTSA TOO. AS THE SOLE GUARDIAN OF A 9 YEAR OLD, I PRAY NOTHING HAPPENS TO ME WHEN I DRIVE THE CAR TO WORK EVERY DAY AND IT'S HARD TO EXPLAIN WHY SHE CAN'T GO SOMEWHERE BECAUSE SHE CAN'T RIDE IN MY CAR ANYMORE. I DON'T HAVE THE MONEY TO TRASH THE CAR AND START OVER BUT I DO HAVE THE MORALS AND VALUES THAT KEEP ME FROM SELLING IT TO SOMEONE ELSE. SOMEONE HAS GOT TO STEP IN AND MAKE INFINITI DO THE RIGHT THING.

MY 2006 INFINITI DASHBOARD STARTED TO DEVELOP BUBBLES APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO. THEY HAVE PROGRESSIVELY GOTTEN WORSE OVER TIME. I JUST FOUND OUT THAT INFINITI EXTENDED THE WARRANTY TO 8 YEARS BUT I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED BY THEM OR THE LOCAL DEALERSHIP. IN ESSENCE THEY WERE HIDING THE FACT THAT THEY OFFERED A NO CHARGE FIX. THIS IS A MANUFACTURING PROBLEM THAT COULD AFFECT THE DEPLOYMENT OF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG SINCE THAT IS THE AREA INVOLVED. MY WARRANTY EXPIRED 6 MONTHS AGO AND SINCE I WAS NEVER NOTIFIED I AM NOW LEFT TO PAY FOR THE FIX ON MY OWN. INFINITI USA AND MY LOCAL DEALERSHIP ARE UNWILLING TO COVER THE EXPENSE OF THE REPAIR.

The vehicles are equipped with non-desiccated, frontal passenger air bag inflators containing phase stabilized ammonium nitrate (PSAN) propellant that were used as interim remedy parts for previous Takata recalls. These inflators may explode due to propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

Remedy: Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag inflators with alternate desiccated inflators, free of charge. The recall began February 12, 2020. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 888-737-9511 or Infiniti customer service at 888-810-3715.

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.
