Nissan Philippines, Inc. (NPI) is urging the owners of some of its products to have their airbags replaced as part of the Japanese carmaker's efforts to implement the global service campaign for selected Nissan vehicles with potential defective airbags.
The recall involves
defective airbags manufactured by Takata that, as of February 2017, has already caused at least
16 deaths and
more than 180 injuries worldwide. The ongoing service campaign, which launched in 2015, continues to address any potentially affected vehicles in Philippines. Affected models and production year include the
Nissan Grand Livina from 2008-2014, the
Nissan Navara from 2007-2014, the
Nissan Frontier from 2003-2008, the

Nissan X-Trail and
Nissan Patrol Super Safari from 2003- 2012.
Customers with the aforementioned models are encouraged to visit the Nissan website at
