What happened

Nissan is recalling certain 2013-2015 Altima, 2015-2016 Rogue, and 2016 Maxima vehicles because an incorrect Electronic Control Unit (ECU) may have been installed in the front passenger seat. This defect can cause the Occupant Classification System to misclassify who is sitting in the front passenger seat, which could result in the airbag deploying incorrectly during a crash and increasing the risk of injury.

Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will replace the ECU and update the occupant classification software at no cost to owners. The recall began February 13, 2017. Affected consumers should contact Nissan customer service at 1-800-647-7261 to have the repair performed.
