NEW YORK, Aug. 28, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP has filed a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, on behalf of consumers who purchased or leased certain model year 2013-2014 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles. The complaint arises out of a dangerous defect in the affected vehicles' occupant classification system ("OCS") which causes the front passenger airbag in these vehicles to deactivate despite the fact that a passenger is sitting in the seat. This puts the front seat passenger at greater risk of injury in the event of a crash. The complaint asserts claims for, among other things, breach of warranty, as well as violations of the New York consumer protection statutes and the Magnusson Moss Act.
The litigation is captioned Zaccagnino v. Nissan North America, Inc., 1:14 cv 3690. A copy of the initial complaint filed in this action is available from the Court or by clicking here.
