Airbag lights started blinking , when calling the dealership my nissan pathfinder was not included in the recall. no accident on the car and the car was purchase new august 2016 .
Upon starting the ignition, air bag ocs indicator shows both front passenger air bags not working. indication light remains on while vehicle is both stationary and while in motion.
When a passenger is in the passenger seat the sensor for the passenger side air bag will not go off. meaning it does not detect anyone sitting in the seat.
Nhtsa recall 16v-244 has not been resolved due to unavailability of corrective parts, as i understand it. the recall dates from 24may2016. about 15-20% of the time adult passengers are present in the front passenger seat, the warning light indicates that the ocs system has deactivated the passenger side airbag. how much longer will nissan be allowed to avoid corrective action while passengers in the affected vehicles are exposed to greater than necessary risk of injury?
I was the person who first filed the airbag issue on nhtsa. finally today, the issue was "patched".i say patched not fixed since now the "airbag off" light is always on in my car which does not match the manual of my vehicle.a bigger issue though is that this confuses us into thinking the similarly orange colored cross traffic light on the passenger side is on and twice out of two times we almost had a crash due to that. this patch is not safe or acceptable and i hope that nhtsa acts to protect customers who paid a considerable amount of money to acquire a supposedly safe vehicle.
