NHTSA campaign 16V242000 · 622,110 vehicles affected
Defect
Nissan North America, Inc. (Nissan) is recalling certain model year 2013-2016 Sentra vehicles manufactured June 4, 2012, to April 9, 2016. The front passenger seat belt bracket may become deformed if it is used to secure a Child Restraint System (CRS). The deformed seat bracket may cause the Occupant Classification System (OCS) to incorrectly classify the installed CRS, resulting in the front passenger air bag to not be turned off as designed when a CRS is in the seat.
Consequence
If the frontal passenger air bag deploys in the event of a crash when a child seat is installed in the front passenger seat, there will be an increased risk of injury to the child in the CRS.
Corrective Action
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will reinforce the seat belt bracket as well as reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) and OCS Electronic Control Unit (ECU), free of charge. The recall began on June 13, 2016. Owners are warned not to install a CRS in the front seat. Owners may contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-867-7669.

Corrective Action
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will update the OCS software, free of charge. The recall began on November 30, 2015. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

1 common questions answered
The manufacturer’s maintenance schedule has no interval for recall work on this model year. Recall repairs are separate from routine maintenance and should be handled promptly when an open recall is confirmed.
NHTSA’s five air bag recalls address risks that can affect passenger protection during a crash. A passenger air bag inflator may not deploy properly, while an incorrect OCS classification may deactivate the air bag or prevent it from deploying as intended. A deformed front passenger seat belt bracket may also cause a child restraint system to be classified incorrectly, increasing the risk of injury to a child if the air bag deploys. Waiting can leave a known safety concern unresolved. Check your VIN promptly, avoid placing a child restraint in the front passenger seat when affected, and arrange the manufacturer remedy as soon as possible.
