Juke recalled over airbag issue

Nissan Australia is recalling Jukes built in 2019 over a fault affecting the airbag.

The issue, which affects 56 F15 Jukes manufactured between April and May 2019, involves the heat shield.

According to Product Safety Australia, which has a list of VIN numbers for affected vehicles, the heat shield may not be in the proper position around the front driver airbag's inflator.

That means that when the airbag is triggered, hot gas could damage it or cause it to tear which could cause occupants seriously injury or even death if they were involved in an accident.

Owners are advised to contact their preferred Nissan dealer to organise for the driver's airbag assembly to be replaced, free of charge.
