The fourth and final Japanese automaker involved in a massive recall pertaining to the front passenger airbag has now announced the list of affected models, which amounts to 84,503 units.

They are:

•2001-2003 Infiniti I35
•2003 Infiniti FX35
•2003 Infiniti FX45
•2003-2004 Infiniti QX4
•2001-2003 Nissan Maxima
•2001-2003 Nissan Sentra
•2002-2003 Nissan Pathfinder

As you're probably aware, the airbag may deploy with excessive force and rip apart, leading to possible injuries.

Domestic automakers haven't been spared, mind you. General Motors has issued a similar recall on the 7,000 Pontiac Vibe hatchbacks from 2003.

In all cases, dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the passenger airbag inflator.
