NISSAN IRELAND IS carrying out a voluntary recall of some of its Micra range due to fears over possibly cracked airbags.
Nissan said there is a chance that there are cracks in the passenger airbag of some of its cars which would make it less effective.
It said that the fault could mean that the risk of injury could be increased if the airbag is deployed.
There are 1,468 vehicles affected on the Irish market.
Nissan Ireland said it will be writing directly to affected vehicle owners in order to arrange an inspection of the airbag and a replacement, where necessary.
A spokesperson said: “Consumers can check if their vehicle is involved in this voluntary recall by contacting their local Nissan Dealer/Authorised Repairer or they can check-online through their website .
“Alternatively, consumers can contact Nissan Ireland Customer Relations on 1850 302 302 or by email to customer.service@nissan.ie.”

Things just get worse and worse for the over 70s
@David cotter: If it was 2005, it would be the under 20′s.
@David cotter: Most stupid and ridiculous comment I have read in a long time, grow up and get a life clown.
@Leonard Barry: ah Leonard it’s only a bit of fun..most micro drivers are elderly…like you
Nobody drives a Micra fast enough to need an airbag.
Can they recall the drivers too
At least it’s not Corolla virus
I just hope that all the takeaways delivered in these cars remain safe.
Cracked from overuse probably
I never knew the Nissan Micra carried bags
Scangermobile
They are probably still on the forecourts
No harm no foul
Bloody MicraVirus strikes again
Suzuki with a Nissan badge on the front
Not cause there is anything wrong with them, just because they are rubbish.
have your say
