The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) has issued an urgent warning for owners of nearly 84,000 older Nissan vehicles to stop driving them due to the risk of exploding Takata airbag inflators. The affected models include certain 2002-2006 Nissan Sentra, 2002-2004 Nissan Pathfinder, and 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4 vehicles. The warning follows incidents where one person was killed and 58 others were injured by exploding airbags. The airbags, which can explode even in minor crashes, hurl dangerous metal fragments that can cause severe injuries or death. Nissan's 'do not drive' notice also applies to 48,000 vehicles in Canada.
