Nissan Leaf, Sentra +8 more: Seats and Restraints

Affects Nissan Leaf, Sentra, Pathfinder, NV200, Altima, Rogue, Taxi, Pathfinder Hybrid, Murano, Maxima · 2013–2017 — about 257K vehicles.

The hazard

On certain vehicles, a defect in the occupant classification system could allow an adult sitting in the front passenger seat to be classified as a child or an “empty seat”. This would suppress the airbag, which could increase the risk of injury in a crash. Correction: For affected Altima, Maxima, Murano, Rogue and Sentra vehicles, dealers will reprogram the airbag control unit and the occupant classification system control unit. For affected Leaf, NV200, Pathfinder, Q50 and JX35/QX60 vehicles, dealers will replace the occupant classification system electronic control unit.
