AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION

Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
Your vehicle has a sensor in the front passenger seat that helps determine whether to inflate the air bag. In some cases, this sensor might be faulty, causing the air bag to deploy incorrectly.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag deploys incorrectly, it could hit the front passenger, potentially causing serious injury.
Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will replace the faulty sensor and update the system's software - at no cost to you. You'll get a notice when the repair is ready, and you should schedule it to ensure your safety.

High Priority #16V244000 Plain English
Component

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION

Manufacturer
Nissan North America, Inc.
What Happened
The Occupant Classification System (OCS) in your vehicle is a sensor that helps decide whether to turn on or off the passenger air bag. In some 2013-2017 models, this sensor might mistakenly think a grown-up is a kid, or that the seat is empty even if someone is sitting there.
Risk if Unfixed
If the passenger air bag doesn't turn on in a crash, you or your passenger could get seriously hurt.
Free Fix
Your dealer will reprogram or replace the faulty OCS sensor free of charge to ensure your passenger air bag works as it should. You'll get a second notice when the parts are ready, and you can schedule the repair then.
