Description du rappel
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) is designed to classify the size and weight of the front seat passenger and, under certain conditions, automatically turn OFF the passenger air bag. The OCS system is designed to only deploy the front passenger airbag when the front passenger seat is occupied by an adult. In the affected vehicles, the 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, the passenger airbag would be deactivated. Additionally, if a child restraint system (CRS) is installed in the front passenger seat (Nissan instructions advises against this), in certain rare instances, the seat belt bracket could deform and the air bag may not deactivate as designed. This may increase the risk of an injury to a child sitting in a CRS installed in the front seat.
Le correctif
The OCS software will be reprogrammed to reduce the potential for classifying the seat as empty. In addition, the passenger front seat bracket will be reinforced to help prevent it from deforming. These services will be offered at no charge to the customer for parts and labor, and should take about an hour to complete. Your Nissan dealer may require your vehicle for a longer period of time based upon their work schedule.
