Euroncap je napisal/-a:Front impact

The Navara's passenger compartment became unstable in the impact and would have been unable to withstand greater loading. The chassis rail collapsed on the impacted side, allowing a significant level of intrusion into the driver's footwell. As a result, the dummy readings indicated a high risk of injury to the left tibia. In addition, the accelerator pedal moved rearwards more than 200mm, presenting a further risk of injury to the driver's lower legs. Structures in the dashboard presented a hazard to the knees and femurs of both the driver and the passenger. Protection of the driver's chest was rated as weak owing to the extent to which the chest was compressed, combined with the threat posed by the unstable passenger compartment. The passenger's neck was bent rearwards in the impact, presenting a high risk of life-threatening injury. The airbags and seatbelt pretensioners were triggered late in the impact and readings from the driver dummy's head also indicated a high risk of life threatening injury. The Navara has been awarded a one star rating as its performance in frontal impact did not reach the minimum level required for a higher rating. Moreover, the unacceptably high risk of life threatening injury to the driver's head and the passenger's neck have led to that star being struck through. Nissan have already introduced a counter-measure to overcome the delayed deployment of the frontal airbags. The change has already been introduced in production cars and Nissan will contact owners to advise them to get their cars upgraded at their dealers. Euro NCAP will assess the modified car in the near future.

in ko smo že ravno pri tem, bi lahko omenili tudi, da se ob raznih predelavah tudi lahko spremeni varnost (npr kakšni paneli na vratih, slabo zmontiran radio in podobno). tudi če delaš kakšno dvojno dno v prtljažniku, daš notri rezervoar za plin, bi bilo za razmislit o tem, kako bi zadeva vplivala ob trku. poznam pa tudi nekoga, ki si je nalepil termometer za zunanjo temperaturo kar na sopotnikov airbag

Following its dismal safety rating in initial Euro NCAP tests - which prompted a global recall - Nissan's Navara has had its score adjusted after re-testing.

The upgraded Navara received three stars for adult occupant protection, and four stars for child occupant protection in its latest assessment.

First Euro NCAP tests in the pick-up category revealed a one-star strikethrough rating for the Navara.

The poor rating was credited to the delayed firing of an airbag. The manufacturer issued an Navara recall and modified new production vehicles to improve the airbag deployment.

Dr Michiel van Ratingen, secretary general of Euro NCAP said, "Nissan have acted responsibly and promptly in response to our findings.

"Euro NCAP hopes that by releasing this new result, it will speed up the Service Campaign and ensure that all Navaras are upgraded to the higher safety specification."

After its latest round of testing, Euro NCAP has announced that the airbag malfunction has been addressed and removes the high risk of life-threatening injuries seen in the first test.

According to the safety agency, Isuzu is currently investigating the safety issues revealed in Euro NCAP's tests of its D-Max/Rodeo, sold in South Africa as the KB.
