The Best New Car Deals: December 2020
The
National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating the
2012 Nissan Versa for a possible defective
airbag cable assembly. Some 100,000
Versa sedans may have cables that are pinched in the steering column, which could lead to the airbag not deploying, according to
Automotive News.
Nissan notified NHTSA of the issue, though no complaints about the problem have yet been made. The investigation by NHTSA will help determine whether or not a recall is warranted.
The new Versa was already recalled in February for problems with its shifter assembly, whereby automatic-transmission-equipped cars could be shifted out of Park without the driver first depressing the brake pedal. To its credit, though, the Versa was named a Top Safety Pick by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety in March.
