Sign in to monitor this recall

Summary

Nissan North America, Inc. is recalling approximately 47,928 of its 2009-2010 Cube vehicles because the driver's front air bag inflator may detach from the steering wheel during deployment. If the inflator detaches during a crash, it can strike the driver or other occupants. Dealers will inspect the inflator serial number and replace the part if necessary, free of charge.

Risk

The air bag inflator can break away from its mounting on the steering wheel when the air bag inflates during a collision. This allows the heavy metal inflator component to become a projectile inside the cabin, which can strike and seriously injure the driver or passengers.

What You Should Do

  1. Contact an authorized Nissan dealer to schedule a free inspection of your vehicle's front air bag inflator serial number.
  2. If the inspection confirms your vehicle has an affected inflator, the dealer will replace the part at no cost to you.
  3. You can verify if your specific Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) is affected by searching on NHTSA.gov starting April 23, 2026.
  4. For more information, contact Nissan customer service at 800-647-7261 and mention recall number R26A1.
  5. Call the NHTSA Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (TTY 1-800-424-9153) or visit www.nhtsa.gov/recalls for additional questions.
