Recall Wednesday: Nissan Says Bring Back 16,365 Muranos

The recall affects 11,511 Muranos from model year 2009 and 4,854 Infiniti EX35s from 2008, according to a Feb. 12 letter from Nissan posted on the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's Web site.

The air bags may fail to inflate in a crash because of incorrectly programmed software, increasing the risk of injury, according to the agency.

Nissan sold 76,358 Muranos last year, according to Woodcliff Lake, New Jersey-based Autodata Corp. The Infiniti EX, a compact sport-utility vehicle introduced in December to compete with Bayerische Motoren Werke AG's X3 and Honda Motor Co.'s Acura RDX, sold 305 units in 2007.

It should be recalled for looking like a big shopping cart.

Don't Do Drugs or you'll turn out just like EL34.
Sad indeed.

That's what comes out of more software trying to manage hardware.

Oh man, what a child you are. Toyota had some of the highest recalls last year. The Tundra was a big one too. As for your Highlander. Read this: http://www.ownersite.com/RecallMain.cfm?action=campaigns&make=TOYOTA&model=HIGHLANDER&year=2005

Gotta love it when ignorant people make unsubstantiated blanket statements about things they just don't know about. Makes both CptamaziingV and JoshLexus4Ever look pretty stupid!

German cars are junk and owned by the Germans! Look at that, i can be just like 2004E46 and make yet another blanked statement. Another idiot fanboy with nothing substantial to say!
