Known issues on the 2011 Versa. Seven recalls are on federal record for this model year. Six of them trace back to frontal air bag inflators built with degraded propellant, covering passenger-side inflator modules, a driver-side inflator module, and a batch of driver/passenger replacement service parts, all carrying the same risk: an inflator rupture or explosion that can send sharp metal fragments into the driver or other occupants, resulting in serious injury or death. A separate recall covers front coil springs that road salt can corrode, and if a spring fractures it may puncture the tire and increase the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 269 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind each of those systems are here.
From an air bag inflator inspection to a front suspension check or routine service, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2011 Versa.
