Description of the problem | Through internet search some 2013-2017 nissan pathfinders passenger airbags have a recall issued. After contacting nissan motor corp. It was explained recalls are vin specific. I requested an explanation of the process nissan uses to determine what vin apply, what department would be able to explain, why would the dealer need to answer the why and how's nissan determines what vin apply. The nissan rep in short explained, he didn't have any answers. The dealer that sold me the vehicle has exceptional service. This matter should in no way reflect on the dealer. Nissan as a three step repair plan for the passenger side airbag if the vin wasn't listed on the recall. It is my understanding the repair can cost up to $2500. 00-$3000. 00. It appears the airbag issue must have been missed on my vin. Based on nissan passenger side airbag repair bulletin it can take up to 3 trips with the cost increasing each time. In my opinion, if some 2013-2017 pathfinder passenger airbags are recalled there must be an issue. With that said, anyone who's vin wasn't originally listed should be able to have the passenger side airbag repaired under the recall. |
