seriously injuring the vehicle occupants.

REMEDY:Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the passenger air bag inflator, free of charge. The manufacturer has not yet provided a notification
schedule. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261.

So not in Indiana where everyone talks about how high the humidity is compared to most hot places? I hope I'm not in an accident where the airbag deploys. I'd rather remain uninjured than be in a good position to sue.
