Your vehicle's passenger seat cushion has a faulty air bag sensor that might not work properly. This sensor helps the air bag control unit decide when to deploy the passenger air bag.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag doesn't work, you could be injured in a crash because your passenger air bag won't provide the protection it's designed to give.
Free Fix
A Nissan or Infiniti dealer will test the air bag system and replace the faulty seat cushion with a new one, free of charge, so you can drive with confidence.
