Air bags: frontalReported April 25, 2003 · 190,000 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Nissan is recalling my 1994 and early 1995 altima vehicles following reports that passenger air bag deployments in these vehicles had caused a number of moderate-to-severe eye injuries. Nissan has developed a new passenger air bag that is less powerful when it inflates in a crash to reduce the risk of air bag inflation-related injuries.
Risk
Nissan expects that this new air bag can help reduce the risk of air bag inflation-related injuries.
Remedy
Nissan will replace the passenger air bag at no charge to the consumer. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification began april 28, 2003. Owners should contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261.

Recall number 03V150000 · Recall details

Vehicle speed controlReported February 28, 1994 · 206,000 vehicles affected
What is wrong
Engine movement can be transmitted to the airflow meter/filter housing and support bracket, which is mounted in the engine air duct, causing the throttle cable housing to pull out of the cable guide. This may prevent the throttle from returning to the idle position when the gas pedal is released.
Risk
If this were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, loss of throttle control could result in an accident.
Remedy
Nissan will reposition the throttle cable housing in the support bracket to provide additional slack for engine movement. A rubber stopper will be clamped to the cable to maintain the correct position for the cable at the support bracket. In addition, the throttle cable will be tested for pull out resistance from the guide in the event the cable was damaged. The throttle assembly will be replaced, if necessary.
