1. Recall Summary

Nissan is conducting a recall of certain passenger car models identified as “Cube.” The recall is based on a safety defect found in the driver airbag inflator. According to the official EU Safety Gate notification, the inflator in the driver airbag has a laser-welded internal seal (left side) that may not reliably hold during deployment. This condition poses a risk that the airbag module could become separated from the steering wheel when activated. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles.

3. Hazard Information

The identified hazard is classified as “Injuries” under the risk type.

The recall notice states that this can cause metal fragments to be projected at great speed through the airbag into the interior of the vehicle, which can result in serious and even fatal injuries for the occupants. The product does not comply with the Regulation on the approval and market surveillance of motor vehicles and their trailers, and of systems, components and separate technical units intended for such vehicles. The risk level is classified as “Serious risk.”
