Apr 26, 2016Air Bags, SensorNissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013 to 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.
Risk: 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.
Fix: 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.

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.

Oct 20, 2015Air Bags, FrontalNissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013 to 2015 Altima and Pathfinder vehicles, 2013 to 2014 Nissan Sentra vehicles, 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles, 2014 to 2015 Infiniti QX60 vehicles and 2014 Infiniti QX60 Hybrid vehicles.

Fix: 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.
