AIR BAGS Safety Recalls

High Priority #16V911000 Plain English
Component

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION

Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The Occupant Classification System in your vehicle is a computer that helps the airbags decide when to deploy. In some cases, a faulty computer chip was installed, which might incorrectly identify you or your passenger.
Risk if Unfixed
If the airbag system thinks you're not in the front passenger seat, it might not deploy properly in a crash, which could lead to serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace the faulty computer chip and update the system's software at no cost to you. This is a free repair, and you should schedule it as soon as you receive the recall notice.

Component

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION

Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) in your vehicle is responsible for detecting whether a passenger is an adult or a child. In some 2013-2017 models, this system might get confused and think a passenger is a child or that the seat is empty when it's actually occupied.
Risk if Unfixed
If the passenger air bag doesn't deploy in a crash because of this error, you're at a higher risk of serious injury to the passenger.
Free Fix
Your dealer will reprogram the air bag control unit and replace the Occupant Classification System computer in your vehicle, free of charge. You'll get a second notice when the parts are ready, and you can contact Nissan, Infiniti, or Chevrolet for more information.
