(Bloomberg) — Nissan Motor Co. plans to expand a regional U.S. recall of cars with potentially defective Takata Corp. air bags after a woman said she was injured last month by shrapnel from the device in her 2006 Sentra sedan.

Nissan will file an incident report with the U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration later Thursday to expand its recall, a company spokesman, Steve Yaeger, said in an interview.
