Description of the problem	There was a public announcement of a recall in march, 2014 related to the reliability of gauges on the passenger side of the front seat, that tell the person, as well as the mechanical system, that the passenger front seat airbag is "now engaged" and ready to activate in the event of an accident/emergency.. Following the announcement i took my 2008 altima to the dealer to ensure i was part of the recall. The dealer is at 3275 sw 8th street, ,miami,, florida. And is called autonation nissan. The service agent total me, after cursory research in his data base, that while many, many nissans were recalled in my model year and in my car group, mine was not included. The selection process for inclusion went by supplier, and not just by type of car and model year. To ascertain if my car had a faulty air bag on the passenger side of the front seat, i would therefore have to pay a $150 upfront diagnostic fee, and, if damage was noted, i would need to pay for repairs myself, as my car did not have the affected parts which were provided by only select suppliers. There is a problem. I have noted for some time that when a passenger is seated in the front, right side, seat, a beacon light in a small square box on the dash board flashes on and clearly states: "pass. Off - air bag (x) psg.. 2" the reference from the light leaves one with the impression the air bag, for the passenger is not activated. During a drive, no set time period noted, the light will go off for a while, and later, come back on again. I am convinced that at some certain points the system is trying to tell me it is not activated.. Of all the cars involved in the nissan recall, how could it possibly be that mine is excluded??? Please, please try to get this corrected.
