(Bloomberg) -- U.S. regulators are looking into whether a recall last year by Nissan Motor Co., Japan’s second-largest automaker, failed to fix a flaw in the air-bag control systems on almost 1 million vehicles.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration opened a query March 18, citing 124 complaints filed by motorists after the recall began last April, according to a notice posted on the regulator’s website. Some drivers alleged the flaw persists after multiple repairs by dealers.
“Nissan Group believes the recall remedy was effective and appropriately addressed the safety defect,” Steve Yaeger, a spokesman at Nissan North America Inc., said in an e-mail Sunday. “Nissan and Infiniti also took additional steps to help dealers address residual customer concerns unrelated to the recall and to maintain high level of customer satisfaction.”
