   Defect, in the NHTSA record

The air bag cushion was folded incorrectly, which could increase internal pressure and tear the air bag cushion during deployment.

   Consequence, in the NHTSA record

   A tear in the air bag may decrease air bag performance, and increase the risk of injury.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record

   INFINITI will notify owners, and dealers will replace the front passenger air bag module, free of charge. The recall began on April 19, 2021. Owners may contact INFINITI customer service at 1-800-662-6200. INFINITI's number for this recall is R20C2.

   An inflator explosion may result in sharp metal fragments striking the driver or other occupants resulting in serious injury or death.

   Remedy, in the NHTSA record
