The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has opened an investigation into 2012 Nissan Versa sedans over concerns with the small car's front air bags.

The safety agency says Nissan discovered pinched wiring in the steering wheel, which could possibly short-circuit and prevent the air bag from deploying during a collision in the Versa.

NHTSA's Office of Defect Investigation has opened a preliminary evaluation into the issue to determine if a recall of the estimated 100,000 Nissan cars is needed.
