(Reuters) - U.S. safety regulators are investigating reports that a damaged cable assembly in the 2012 Nissan Versa could prevent its airbag from deploying in a crash.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said its investigation covered an estimated 100,000 Versas sold in the United States.
NHTSA, which has opened a preliminary investigation, said Nissan had notified it that the airbag cable assembly was founded pinched within the steering column on some Versas.
"Damage or a short to this cable may cause the airbag to not deploy, which poses a safety risk," said NHTSA's Office of Defect Investigation.
A NHTSA defect investigation can lead to a safety recall.
The safety agency said it had received no complaints or reports of failures.
