NEW YORK: Nissan Motor Co is recalling 260,000 vehicles globally due to defective driver-side air bags of Takata Corp.
The recalls affect Nissan’s March model, called Micra in Europe, and the Cube. They are chiefly in Japan, with 104,905 cars, 30,000 in Europe and 11,000 in China.
The Japanese recall covers models from 2008 to 2012.
US safety regulators on Wednesday expanded the number of Takata-equipped vehicles in the United States that may be affected by recalls to 7.8 million vehicles by 10 carmakers.
