Nissan has announced a recall of more than 240,000 trucks after a problem was discovered with airbag deployment in 20 cold weather states. The recall notice has been issued for Nissan Pathfinders, Xterras, and the Frontier, years 2005-2009. No injuries or fatalities relating to the recall have been reported.

Nissan Motor Co. is recalling more than 240,000 trucks in 20 cold weather states to fix a problem that could prevent front air bags from deploying in a crash.
The government said in a posting on its Web site Wednesday that the recall affects the Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra for the 2005-2009 model years.

In states where winter time road salt is used, a mix of snow and salt could enter a crash zone sensor area and rust, interrupting the signal and potentially preventing the front air bags from deploying in a crash.

On Guam, a lot of people will drive with the spouse, children, friends, etc. in the back of the truck. The most I saw was an older Nissan truck with 21 girls in the back and two guys in the front seat. The girls were all dressed to go to a party.

Factcheck, the photo you requested is a 2001, well outside the recall date.

This is why you're not a professional, obviously.

I realized not every single photograph I sourced would be for the dates specified - difficult to identify models visually when not an auto buff! I was hoping for a good rate on my hit and miss strategy :)
