Known issues on the 2009 Versa. Eight recalls are on federal record for this model year. Several concern Takata frontal airbag inflators, driver and passenger side, where propellant degradation after long-term exposure to heat and humidity can cause the inflator to rupture or explode and send metal fragments into the cabin. A separate recall covers front coil springs that can corrode from road salt and fracture, with the broken spring able to contact and puncture the tire. Another covers a Garmin nuvi 750 navigation unit whose battery could overheat and start a fire. Owners have filed 503 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.

Whether you're inspecting an airbag module, checking the front coil springs for corrosion, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2009 Versa.
