Nissan has recalled 134,215 Infiniti G35 sedans from model years 2005-2006, and G35 coupes from model years 2005-2007. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that a wiring harness for the airbags may wear over time to a point where it could interfere with a signal to deploy the airbags in the event of a crash.
Nissan's NHTSA filing states that the wiring harness is connected to a belt-tension sensor and an occupant detection sensor. As the harness gets jostled under the cars' front seats over time, it can wear and allow corrosion to form on the terminals, which could potentially corrupt signal transmission to the airbag, causing deployment failure.
The recall mainly involves vehicles in the U.S., but also affects South Korea, Canada, Puerto Rico, Taiwan, Guam and the Middle East. A Nissan spokesman said that no injuries or accidents had been reported.
