Whenever you have a warrant, you are at risk for going to jail and then facing extradition back to the originating state. Whether YOUR particular warrant has a geographic limitation, we cannot possibly know. Call the prosecutor's office in New Mexico, and ASK them. Just because it's a misdemeanor does NOT mean that NM won't extradite. Whether you are driving or a passenger makes no difference; if law enforcement comes across you for ANY reason, you're fair game.
