Nissan announced through the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration that they will be recalling over 226,000 additional vehicles due to an issue involving faulty airbags. This is in addition to almost half a million vehicles that were recalled in March.

The recall involves models including the Infiniti, Maxima, Pathfinder, and Sentra that were released between 2002 and 2004. According to the company statement, the vehicles involved have defective airbags made by a Japanese auto parts supplier called Takata. Airbags manufactured by this company have been known to break upon inflation, launching fragments of metal into the car.

A number of recalls involving faulty airbags have been taking place over the past few years, including recalls from BMW, Chrysler, Honda, Mazda and Ford.

A spokesperson for Nissan said that the company is not aware of any injuries that have been caused by the airbags, and that the recall is essentially a preventive measure.

The recall will begin on August 11, and will include both airbags installed at the factory and replacement models. Dealers will replace identified faulty airbags free of charge. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, all affected owners will be notified of the recall.

Nissan also recalled almost half a million vehicles in March, also related to faulty airbags, this time because some airbags failed to deploy in a collision. According to the company, sensors in the cars were unable to detect a passenger in the front passenger seat, even if one was present.

Vehicles involved in this recall include the Infiniti JX35 SUV 2003, Infiniti FX35, 2003, Infiniti FX45, 2003, Infiniti I35, 2002-2003, Infiniti QX42, 2002-2003, Maxima, 2002-2003, Pathfinder, 2002-2003, and Sentra, 2002-2004.
