INFINITI QX60 NOW HAS CREATED A CONSTANT YELLOW FALSE WARNING PICTURE/LIGHT ON IN CAR INDICATING THAT THE PASSENGER AIR BAG IF OFF EVEN THOUGH NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. IF AN INFANT OR A SMALL CHILD IS PLACED IN THE SEAT, SINCE THE YELLOW WARNING PICTURE/ LIGHT IS ALWAYS ON, A TRUE AND ACTUAL HAZARD MAY BE OVERLOOKED. THERE IS NO NEED FOR A FALSE CONSTANT WARNING LIGHT WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT. ASK INFINITI TO FIX THE PROBLEM WITH THE AIR BAG SO THAT IT WORKS AS THE MANUAL INDICATES. WHEN NO ONE IS SITTING IN THE SEAT THE WARNING PICTURE WILL ILLUMINATE FOR 7 SECONDS AND THEN CUT OFF. WHEN AN INFANT OR SMALL CHILD IS SITTING IN THE SEAT, THEN THE LIGHT WILL REMAIN ON INDICATING THAT THERE IS A TRUE HAZARD. ALLOWING NISSAN/INFIINITI TO GET A WAY WITH A QUICK FIX BY LEAVING THE YELLOW WARNING LIGHT ON CONSTANTLY, A TRUE HAZARD WILL BE OVERLOOKED POSSIBLY CAUSING DEATH OR INJURY TO THE PERSON IN THE SEAT. THIS LIGHT IS ON AT ALL TIMES, WHILE DRIVING AND WHEN STATIONARY. THIS HAS BEEN OCCURRING SINCE THE DATE OF PURCHASE ON 08/06/2016.

16V244000 · Air Bags:sensor:occupant Classification

Apr 26, 2016

Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2016-2017 Nissan Maxima, 2013-2016 Nissan Altima, NV200, LEAF, Sentra, and Pathfinder, 2014-2016 Nissan NV200 Taxi, Infiniti QX60, QX60 Hybrid, and Q50 Hybrid, 2014-2017 Nissan Rogue and Infiniti Q50, 2015-2016 Nissan Murano, Murano Hybrid, and Chevrolet City Express, 2014-2015 Nissan Pathfinder Hybrid, and 2013 Infiniti JX35 vehicles. In these vehicles, the front seat passenger Occupant Classification System (OCS) may incorrectly classify an adult passenger as a child or classify the seat as empty despite it being occupied. As a result, the passenger frontal air bag may be turned off and not deploy in the event of a crash.

Consequence & remedy

Consequence: If the passenger frontal air bag does not deploy as intended in the event of a crash, the passenger is at an increased risk of injury.

Remedy: Nissan will notify their owners. Chevrolet City Express owners will be notified by General Motors. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU) in Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue, and Sentra vehicles, and replace the OCS ECU in LEAF, NV200, NV200 Taxi, Pathfinder, Infiniti Q50, JX35, and QX60 and Chevrolet City Express vehicles, free of charge. Interim notices were sent to owners on May 31, 2016. Owners will receive a second notice when remedy parts become available. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669, Infiniti customer service at 1-888-833-3216 or Chevrolet customer service at 1-800-222-1020.
