Description of the problem | I'm filing a complaint before i have an incident. I own a nissan xterra. Many other nissan xterra owners have had spontaneous side curtain air bag deployment when traveling very slowly, generally on dirt roads. Some of these deployments have caused injuries. The problem appears to be common on all 2nd generation nissan xterras (2006-2016). The following links are to xterra forum threads and professional publications about random airbag deployment in xterras. There are many more documented cases of this online, the links below are a taste. This also may be a problem with nissan frontiers, which are basically the truck variant of the xterra. Based on above text, no incident/crash occurred... No injuries. Changed inj to 0. 2/1/2017 pco http://tinyurl. Com/hso3elx http://tinyurl. Com/j7u9e8k http://tinyurl. Com/zjt6zmr http://tinyurl.
