Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationApr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.
If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.
Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.

Air bags, sensor, occupant classificationApr 26, 2016
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Sentra vehicles manufactured June 4, 2012, to April 9, 2016. The front passenger seat belt bracket may become deformed if it is used to secure a Child Restraint System (CRS). The deformed seat bracket may cause the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to incorrectly classify the installed CRS, resulting in the front passenger air bag to not be turned off as designed when a CRS is in the seat.
If the frontal passenger air bag deploys in the event of a crash when a child seat is installed in the front passenger seat, there will be an increased risk of injury to the child in the CRS.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will reinforce the seat belt bracket as well as reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU), free of charge. The recall began on June 13, 2016. Owners are warned not to install a CRS in the front seat. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2015 Altima and Pathfinder vehicles, 2013-2014 Nissan Sentra vehicles, 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles, 2014-2015 Infiniti QX60 vehicles and 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid vehicles. The affected vehicles received an incorrect occupant classification system (OCS) control unit during a repair. These OCS control units may incorrectly classify the front passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger air bag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

In the affected vehicles, the occupant classification system (OCS) software may incorrectly classify the passenger seat as empty, when it is occupied by an adult.
If the OCS does not detect an adult occupant in the passenger seat, the passenger airbag would be deactivated. Failure of the passenger airbag to deploy during a crash (where deployment is warranted) could increase the risk of injury to the passenger.

Air bagsMar 1, 2013
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2013 Altima, LEAF, Pathfinder, Sentra, and Infiniti JX35 vehicles. Sensors within the passenger Occupant Detection System (ODS) may have been manufactured out of specification. This may cause the system to malfunction and permanently suppress the passenger airbag.
If the vehicle is involved in a crash necessitating airbag deployment and the passenger airbag is suppressed, there may be an increased risk of personal injury.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will inspect the ODS sensors and replace them as neccessary, free of charge. The recall began on May 6, 2013. Owners may contact Nissan Customer Service at 1-800-647-7261.

Fuel system, gasoline, storage, tank assemblyMar 1, 2013
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2013 Sentra vehicles manufactured from September 11, 2012, through October 4, 2012. Some fuel tank assemblies were not properly sealed during the manufacturing process. As a result, a small amount of gasoline may leak from the tank when it is full.
A gasoline leak in the presence of an ignition source may lead to a vehicle fire.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the fuel tanks as necessary, free of charge. The recall began on April 1, 2013. Owners may contact Nissan Customer Service at 1-800-647-7261.

I RECENTLY TOOK MY 2013 NISSAN SENTRA TO THE DEALERSHIP FOR A RECALL UPDATE WHERE THE VEHICLE DIDN'T RECOGNIZE THE PASSENGER SEAT WAS OCCUPIED BY AN ADULT AND AS A RESULT THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WAS TURNED OFF. WELL, EVEN AFTER THE SYSTEM UPDATE I KEEP HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM. THE SYSTEM STILL DOESN'T RECOGNIZE WHEN MY MOM (150 POUNDS) IS A PASSENGER AND EVEN LESS WHEN MY 120 POUND SISTER IS WITH ME. THIS IS FRUSTRATING AND SCARY BECAUSE SOON MY DAUGHTER WILL REACH THE AGE WHERE SHE WOULD BE ABLE TO RIDE ON THE PASSENGER SEAT. I FEEL LIKE AFTER INVESTING A CONSIDERABLE AMOUNT OF MONEY ON SUCH AN ESSENTIAL ASSET THE LEAST I CAN DO IS EXPECT FOR IT TO BE SAFE FOR MY FAMILY AND MYSELF.

THE PASSENGER AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON, WE'VE TAKEN THE CAR TO NISSAN NUMEROUS TIMES FOR REPAIR ALL WITHIN WARRANTY PERIOD AND STILL HASN'T BEEN FIXED. MY MOST RECENT EXPERIENCE WAS WITH A REGIONAL CONSUMER AFFAIRS AGENT NAMED IVAN WHO TOLD ME "WE'VE WASHED OUR HANDS OF IT AND WON'T HELP YOU ANYMORE". A TECHNICIAN AT DON WILLIAMSON NISSAN IN JACKSONVILLE NORTH CAROLINA TOLD MY WIFE AS SHE PICKED THE CAR UP THE LAST TIME FROM THE SERVICE CENTER THAT THE AIRBAG WON'T DEPLOY WITH AN ADULT IN THE SEAT BECAUSE SOMETHING CALLED THE OCS WAS PROGRAMMED WRONG. I WON'T DISCLOSE HIS NAME SINCE HE WAS HELPFUL IN INFORMING US OF THE ISSUE. I ASKED AN AGENT ON THE PHONE JUST SECONDS AGO IF IM SUPPOSE TO WAIT UNTIL WE HAVE AN ACCIDENT AND SOMEONE GETS INJURED BEFORE THEY DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS AND SHE REPLIED, " I GUESS".

THE ISSUE BEGAN ALMOST IMMEDIATELY AFTER PURCHASING THIS VEHICLE. THE PASSENGER AIRBAG WOULD RANDOMLY GO OFF, WHILE THE PASSENGER WAS SITTING IN THE SEAT. SHORTLY AFTER NOTICING THIS NISSAN PUT OUT A RECALL ON THIS VEHICLE. WE HAVE NOW TAKEN IT BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP 2 TIMES, AND ALTHOUGH THEY TOLD ME THE PROBLEM WAS FIXED, BOTH TIMES, IT CONTINUES TO EXIST. I HAVE SPOKEN TO NISSAN CORPORATE AROUND A DOZEN TIMES. THEY HAVE NO SENSE OF URGENCY, AND EACH CONVERSATION HAS TO HAPPEN 48 HOURS APART, FOR SOME STRANGE REASON. I AM STILL WAITING FOR ANOTHER CALLBACK SO A SPECIALIST CAN NOW COME TO LOOK AT MY VEHICLE. AN APPOINTMENT LIKE THIS TAKES A MORE THAN 4 WEEKS TO ARRANGE; AGAIN, NO URGENCY. EACH TIME THEY MAKE ME SCHEDULE SOMETHING, I HAVE TO TAKE A DAY OFF OF WORK, BECAUSE THEY CANNOT ACCOMMODATE EVENING SCHEDULES. I HAVE EXPRESSED MY CONCERN OVER THE DANGERS WITH THIS ISSUE, YET IT SEEMS AS THOUGH NISSAN DOES NOT CARE. QUITE FRANKLY, I AM NERVOUS TO HAVE PEOPLE IN THE PASSENGER SEAT OF MY VEHICLE. IT IS A BIT STRANGE TO HAVE MY WIFE SIT IN THE BACK SEAT, BUT THIS BEATS HAVING TO WORRY ABOUT DANGERS OF SITTING IN THE FRONT SEAT. *TR

I TOOK IT TO THE DEALER THE OTHER DAY AND THE SERVICE MANAGER SAID HE CALIBRATED IT SHOULDN'T HAPPEN ANYMORE. TWO DAYS LATER IT CAME ON AGAIN.. WITH ALL THE PROBLEMS WITH AIRBAGS, THIS IS VERY SCARY.

THE SENTRA HAS A LIGHT ON THE DASHBOARD THAT ALERTS THE DRIVER IF THE PASSENGER AIRBAG IS DISABLED. THIS LIGHT ON MY SENTRA WILL SOMETIMES COME ON EVEN THOUGH A 150 POUND PERSON IS SITTING IN THE PASSENGER SEAT. INITIALLY I WAS ABLE TO GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF BY BRAKING FAST. A FEW NIGHTS AGO, I COULD NOT GET THE LIGHT TO TURN OFF FOR A 20 MINUTE DRIVE EVEN THOUGH A 150 POUND PERSON IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. PER NISSAN, THE AIR BAG IS PROVIDING NO CODES FOR THIS ISSUE AND UNLESS I CAN RECREATE IT THERE IS NOTHING THEY CAN DO. I HAVE CONTACTED NISSAN CUSTOMER SERVICE AND WAS TOLD TO VIDEO TAPE THE LIGHT, GO TO A DIFFERENT DEALER WHO CAN THEN READ THE CODES OF WHICH THERE ARE NOT ANY OR TO TRADE IN THE VEHICLE. I AM CONCERNED THAT THE AIR BAG WILL NOT PROPERLY DEPLOY IN A FRONT END COLLISION. *TR
