Anyone else see this?

A detached emblem and/or retainer component may become a projectile during an airbag deployment, increasing the risk of injury to vehicle occupants.

Running my VINs at the NHTSA.gov site, both the '06 and '09 come up with this recall. But when I run them on Nissan's site, there's no recalls listed.

Kind of a moot point right now anyway since they don't seem to have a remedy ready yet, but I was wondering if anyone else had looked into this.

My 2006 does come up on the Nissan U.S.A. vin lookup.

Interesting. I wonder what the difference is?

It's brand new too. No plan. My truck pops on the Nissan site.

Well mine is pretty much the lowest model - base camp, rwd, 6 speed. Though I would think the airbag/emblem wouldn’t change across models. Maybe something with specific production date?

Weirdly I was notified by Nissan about it when I emailed them to update my address for recalls so they would stop sending them to my parents house.

I've been wanting to replace the steering wheel with one without an airbag anyway. This may move this thought along quicker to fruition lol.

What is it with you Vegas guys and not wanting airbags?

It's not my daily and I'm terrified of it going off when I'm bouncing off rocks.

I got the official notice in the mail this week.

It said that if the emblem is still in good shape don't do anything yet.

So far, I haven't heard anything from Nissan.

Interesting that on the news the Fed g'ment is saying that all steering wheel emblems on all cars be removed. Guess Nissan's are not the only one with a problem.
