PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – According to CBS News, Nissan will be recalling more than 3 million vehicles worldwide, the company

The recall is due to an issue with air bag sensors in some models. So far at least two accidents and one injury have been linked to the problem.
In a statement, Nissan said it is committed to customer safety and a plan to fix the vehicles is being developed. “The planned remedy varies by vehicle and will include software reprogramming in some models and hardware replacement in other models,” the statement said.
The company says the issue is with the Occupant Classification System, the sensor that disables the passenger seat air bag if the seat is empty. The sensor sometimes fails to detect that there is an adult in the car’s passenger seat, leaving the air bag disabled. This means it would not deploy in a crash.
