Description of the problem	My 2013 nissan pathfinder has intermittently lit up the disabled passenger air bag light while a full-sized adult was seated correctly in the front passenger seat. My ocs module was reprogrammed in may, in accordance with the recall. Yet, my car still chooses to classify correctly a seated adult weighing 150 lbs to 280 lbs as either an empty seat or one occupied by a child or small adult, shutting off the air bag accordingly. When the air bag is off, no amount of fidgeting or re-positioning will make the ocs reclassify the passenger (contrary to what the safety service bulletin update says). The dealership told me on my last visit concerning this matter that if my passenger is reclined or leaning on the door, it would disable the airbag. The last time this happened, i had my passenger, a 6 ft, 240 lb man shift to try to get the ocs to reclassify him, to no avail. The only way to resolve the issue was to stop the car, turn it off and wait a few minutes. I should also mention that the dealership refuses to replace the sensors since no error codes are stored in the system. My car has just come back from another "repair" at the dealership, where i was told there is nothing wrong with it. They handed me a stack of papers that explain that this sometimes happens for the passenger's own protection, and gave suggestions that included my above "fix." it is insane to suggest that the system is working properly, but i might have to stop my car and wait a minute to make it do what it was supposed to do on start up. For others with this issue, the papers also suggest that the ocs can be taking too long to classify your passenger because your a/c fan speed is set too high. The "fix" is that you should sit and sweat so the properly functioning ocs can determine the correct classification for your passenger.

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.
