DETROIT—Nissan is recalling more than a quarter-million SUVs, trucks, and vans worldwide to replace potentially dangerous Takata air bag inflators.
The vehicles have air bags with volatile ammonium nitrate that can explode with too much force and hurl shrapnel. But they have a moisture-absorbing chemical that was supposed to make them safe. U.S. safety regulators are to determine whether all inflators with the drying agent have to be recalled.
