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.
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.
