More than 83,900 vehicles from model years 2002-2006 are impacted.

Nissan has issued a "do not drive" warning for 83,920 vehicles from model years 2002-2006 with recalled Takata airbags.

The vehicles were already subject to open Takata airbag recalls from 2020. A vehicle's frontal passenger airbag inflators may explode due to "propellant degradation occurring after long-term exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures, and high temperature cycling," according to the recall notices from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration .

NHTSA said vehicle owners should check if their car has an open Takata airbag recall, and if so, should schedule a free repair at their dealerships and follow warnings from the manufacturer. Nissan and Infiniti are offering free towing, mobile repair and, in some places, loaner vehicles.
