Each campaign in detail

Recall: passenger airbag that can tear
Manufacturer recall
A European alert (Rapex A12/00067/19, manufacturer code PY8B3) concerns the passenger airbag, which can crack or tear on deployment and increase the risk of injury in an accident. The Micras concerned were built between 1 October 2016 and 14 November 2017. The dealer can say, from the serial number, whether a recall is open or has been carried out.
Fixed free of charge by a dealer and not counted in the reliability score: ask for proof the work was done (invoice, or a VIN check at a dealer).
