Nissan Motor Co. is recalling nearly 105,000 small cars in the U.S. to replace passenger-side frontal airbag inflators that could explode in a crash.
The new recall supplements three others launched previously to remedy the same problem. All involve Takata inflators that don’t contain a drying agent needed to help stabilize their propellants.
Without the desiccant, heat and humidity can cause the propellant to decompose and misfire when triggered by a crash. So far 22 people in the U.S. have been killed by faulty Takata inflators. Roughly 50 million of the devices are being replaced by 19 carmakers.
