Nissan is the latest company to recall thousands of cars because of air bag defects.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said that Nissan is recalling certain lines of its Infiniti, Maxima, Pathfinder and Sentra cars for the model years 2002 to 2004.
They had previously announced a recall of more than 438,000 vehicles.
This new alert is prompted by faulty air bags that have been blamed for the recall of millions of cars recently, including those made by BMW, Chrysler, Ford, Honda, Mazda and Toyota.
The air bags systems were made by Tokyo-based Takata Corporation.
The air bag inflators can rupture, causing metal fragments to fly out when the air bags are deployed and potentially cause serious injuries. So far no one's been hurt.
