| Manufacurer | Nissan North America, Inc. |
| Brand | NISSAN |
| Model | ALTIMA |
| Model Year | 2010 |
| File date | 14/10/15 |
| Component | AIR BAGS |
| Product type code | VEHICLE |
| Description of the problem | The passenger airbag sensor has malfunction which caused the indication light flashing. The nissan dealership diagnostic the problem and the result was to replace the passenger seat. Since it was the airbag sensor malfunction, it will affect the deployment of the airbag if accident happens. This is not a wear & tear issue. It is the manufacturing problem. I am aware that later models of nissan's vehicle have been recalled for the same issue, nissan corporation refused to replace the seat at their cost since this particular model was not in their recall list. |
