2013 Nissan ALTIMA Air Bags Problems, Complaints and Defects

Issue ID	1028368
Internal NHTSA #	10556237
Manufacurer	Nissan North America, Inc.
Brand	NISSAN
Model	ALTIMA
Model Year	2013
File date	14/12/13
Component	AIR BAGS
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Driving with a person in the front passenger seat, the passenger airbag light on the dash illuminated to indicate the airbag had turned off. It did this twice on the same day. The person sitting in the front passenger seat was 175 lbs, well big enough that the sensors should have detected. This appears, from numerous online forums, to be a common problem. Prior to manufacture of my 2013 altima (06/2013) a recall was conducted for this very same problem. Apparently, post recall, the problem still exists. Many people could be killed or seriously injured as a result of this safety failure.

What is Recall?
A recall is when a product is removed from the market or a correction is made to the product because it is either defective or potentially harmful.
What is Failure?
Failure is the state or condition of not meeting a desirable or intended objective, and may be viewed as the opposite of success. Product failure ranges from failure to sell the product to fracture of the product, in the worst cases leading to personal injury, the province of forensic engineering.
