The report said that the recall involving 1994 and 1995 Altimas closes a two-year investigation by NHTSA. The NHTSA also said that of the 79 injury cases studied, 22 were moderate and 15 involved severe injuries.
The Reuters report added that the NHTSA said a review of complaints from other Altimas and similar vehicles found far fewer moderate or severe injuries from airbags.
According to Reuters, in a letter dated April 11, Nissan told NHTSA it would replace airbags in all the affected vehicles with new airbags that inflate with less power and less volume.
