What This Recall Means

Component

AIR BAGS:SENSOR:OCCUPANT CLASSIFICATION

What Happened
The passenger seat belt bracket in your Sentra is a part that helps your car's computer decide whether to turn off the passenger air bag. In some 2013-2016 models, using a child seat on this bracket could bend it out of shape.
Risk if Unfixed
If the air bag doesn't turn off when a child seat is in the front seat, it could deploy in a crash, putting the child at a higher risk of injury.

How to Get This Fixed

Free Fix
Your Nissan dealer will reinforce the seat belt bracket and update the car's computer systems to make sure the air bag turns off when a child seat is in the front seat – all for free. They'll do this as soon as you get the recall notice, and you shouldn't put a child seat in the front seat until it's fixed.
