TOKYO: Nissan Motor Co. and Mitsubishi Motors Corp. said Friday they plan to recall a total of some 86,000 units of three minivehicle models that have been produced since December 2020 in Japan.
Nissan will soon notify the transport ministry of the recall of the Roox and Mitsubishi Motors the eK Space and the eK X Space, due to an air bag malfunction.
According to the companies, the driver-side air bag inflates at a height higher than it supposed to be, failing to meet a neck safety requirement.
The two makers suspended production and shipment of the three sister models on Dec. 3 last year after detecting the malfunction.
Aiming to resume shipment on Jan. 11, they will correct the air bag’s position using strings and attach another air bag under the steering wheel.
