Nissan is clearly disappointed with the results of the latest Euro NCAP crash test, where the score for the model year 08 Nissan Navara was compromised by the delayed deployment of the airbags.

Nissan has responded to poor EuroNCAP results with airbag updates for the Navara pick-up.

Nissan is also disappointed that Euro NCAP has not published the results of the re-test of Navara, equipped with upgraded airbag control unit software.

Nissan emphasizes that the airbag issue applies to a limited number of Model Year 08 Navaras that were produced between May and December 2007. There is no issue with the airbag control unit on Navaras produced from launch in 2005 until May 2007.

Following consultation with Euro NCAP after the results of the first test, Nissan immediately developed and, in December 2007, put into production a software update on the airbag control unit to ensure the airbag performed exactly according to design specifications. In parallel to this, a service campaign was launched in December 2007 on all Model Year 08 Nissan Navaras, where customers of the Model Year 08 Navara were invited to their Nissan dealer to have updated airbag control settings applied to their vehicles.
