The Nissan Navara’s safety rating has been raised in adult protection from one to three stars by Euro NCAP.

Nissan has changed the deployment of the airbag and the pre-tension systems of the seatbelt.  They have been retested since the original results were released last month.

The recent software controlling the seatbelt pre-tension systems and airbags is available on the new Nissan Navaras.  People who currently own a Navara are invited to take in their vehicles for a safety check at any Nissan dealership.  Changes to software will be made if necessary.  However, consumers should always have an auto warranty in case problems arise in their car.

The rating for child protection has also been raised from three stars to four because Nissan has made additional information available on the vehicle’s safety system.

Nissan is also planning to make more safety strides to the Navara since original safety tests detected a weakness on the chassis.

Since the original poor score for safety on the Navara, Nissan has acted responsibly and made much needed changes.  Of course, you never really know when parts on a vehicle will fail, so it is wise to purchase new car warranties to protect your wallet.
