The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) said that it was informed by Nissan of the problem two weeks ago, but Nissan had not yet provided the agency with a plan to fix the vehicles. According to NHTSA, a wire harness for the airbag may become worn, which could cause the airbags not to deploy in a crash. However, Colin Price, Nissan's spokesman said no accidents or injuries have been reported from the Nissan G35 sedans and coupes vehicles.

According to the Nissan spokesperson, about 65 percent of the vehicles recalled are sedans and about 35 per cent coupes.
