(WRDW/WAGT/AP) -- Nissan is recalling more than 54,000 cars because of the curtain and seat-mounted air bags that may unexpectedly deploy when the door is slammed.

Nissan North America says the recall affects the 2012 Nissan Versa vehicles. It says the problem may be caused by the degradation of the side impact sensor connector pins. The unexpected deployment of the air bags can increase the risk of injury.

Subaru North America is also recalling various vehicles due to an issue with passenger-side front airbags equipped with a Takata inflator.

The list of Subaru vehicles being recalled includes:

- 2003-2004 Legacy & Outback

- 2009-2012 Legacy & Outback

- 2003-2006 Baja

- 2006-2011 Impreza, WRX & STI

- 2012 WRX & STI

- 2009-2012 Forester

- 2006-2012 Tribeca

Nissan says dealers will install a new jumper harness and replace the side impact sensors free of charge. Subaru will also be notifying affected car owners for a free repair at no cost.
