Nissan adds nearly 308K vehicles to Takata recall saga

Nissan is recalling nearly 308,000 vehicles in U.S. to replace dangerous Takata air bag inflators that can explode and hurl shrapnel.

Nissan front passenger inflators are among 10 million from 14 different automakers that Takata is recalling. It's last recall that bankrupt Takata agreed to in a 2015 settlement with U.S. safety regulators.

Nissan recall covers certain 2001 through 2003 Maximas, 2002 through 2006 Sentras, 2002 through 2004 Pathfinders, and 2007 through 2011 Versas. Also included are 2001 through 2004 Infiniti I30 and I35s, 2002 through 2003 QX4s, 2003 through 2008 FX35 and FX45s and 2006 through 2010 M35 and M45s.

Dealers will replace inflators starting Feb. 10.
