  Covers: Nissan Altima 1994–1995

  Reported issue: 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.

  Possible consequence: 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.

  Reported issue: Certain of the brake hoses for the right rear wheel were routed incorrectly so that contact is made with a suspension component. This causes abrasion to the hose and eventual leakage.

  Possible consequence: A leaking brake hose reduces braking capability, increases stopping distances and increases the risk of an accident.

  Remedy: The right rear brake hose will be inspected to determine if it is routed correctly. Misrouted hoses will be inspected for damage, replaced if necessary, and correctly routed.

  Possible consequence: Inadvertent movement of the transmission shift lever without operator action can cause vehicle movement which can result in a vehicle accident.

  Remedy: Dealers will install a bracket to prevent the shift position pin from breaking the shift lever lock plate.
