Reported April 26, 2016 · Nissan North America, Inc.

Potentially affected: 3,296,947 vehicles

Repair completion: 77.11% (latest rate the manufacturer reported to NHTSA; dataset updated November 3, 2026)

Owners notified June 10, 2016 · Vehicles built August 7, 2012 – April 6, 2016 (per NHTSA) · Recall influenced by NHTSA's Office of Defects Investigation

Defect description

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.

Safety 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.

Manufacturer 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.

The air bag hitting me face caused more damage to my body than actual accident which caused severe lower back pain and injuries to my hand and left lingering nerve pain to left and ride side of body. The impact was so hard my nose also bled the next day and I had migraines and blurry vision for next week. I could not work for next 5 days on doctor note because of concussion.

My passenger airbag light has been on ever since I've owned this vehicle starting January of 2019. I see there has been an open recall on this since May of 2016, which means it hasn't been solved in over 5 years. I feel less comfortable about driving my partner around in my van knowing her airbag may not go off in the event of an accident.

Visibility/Wiper

ODI #10893025

Incident: August 3, 2016 · Filed: August 4, 2016

1) SIDE MIRRORS DO NOT PROVIDE ADEQUATE VIEW. AT NIGHT, MULTIPLE IMAGES OF HEADLIGHTS MAKE IT VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO DETERMINE WHERE OTHER VEHICLES ARE LOCATED. 2) SUN VISOR IS TOO SHORT TO BLOCK SUN FROM DRIVER'S SIDE WINDOW EVEN WITH THE SEAT PULLED ALL THE WAY FORWARD. (I TRIED MAKING ADJUSTMENTS AND THEN THOUGHT I MIGHT GET USED TO IT BUT AFTER DRIVING FOR SIX MONTHS THESE DEFICIENCIES CONTINUE TO BE A HAZARD.)
