Safety recall 16v‑349: the front passenger airbag could rupture unexpectedly, "causing injury or death." my infiniti retailer has failed to resolve this issue, and told me on my most recent call that it was the airbag manufacturer's issue, and I should contact them. Instead, I am contacting you.

Car was involved in a partial head on collision ( 20 MPH), drivers side airbag and seatbelt didn't deploy, passenger side did. There was not a passenger in the car. Deal will not fix free of charge, even though there is a recall effecting part of this system.
I recently found out about a recall on my vehicle it has since than been over a month and yet my dealership has not notified me to fix the issue at the moment I am not allowed to ride anyone in my passenger seat which is a huge inconvenient for me and my family.
The federal safety agency recall number: 16v‑349 recall date: may 23, 2016 manufacturer recall number: r1618 summary: continued exposure to areas with high levels of absolute humidity may cause the front passenger air bag inflator housing to rupture and deploy abnormally.

I am still waiting to complete this recall but there are still no parts - 10 weeks into the recall process.

Tl* takata recall. The contact owns a 2005 infiniti fx35. The contact stated that the air bag warning light illuminated for longer than a month. The dealer and manufacturer were not notified. The failure mileage was not available.
The air bag warning light came on during may 2016 after I stopped for gas. The dealer replaced the passenger air bag inflator during 2014 (no charge under a manufacturer recall) but indicated I have to pay 715.00 to repair the air bag sensor. I have read about the takata air bag problems and am very concerned about my family and my safety but this is not a movable part and I think this should be a mfg recall.

I have not experienced any problems with the airbag and my VIN has not been specifically identified for the takata recall. That though is the issue. In view of the inifinti recall of similar model cars in high humidity states, and the federal safety agency's call for a full recall of the takata airbags, as well as toyota, gm & honda's recent expansion of the recall, I do not understand why infiniti has not taken similar additional action. I live in virginia - an area of high humidity for at least 3 months per year. A recent death occurred to a virginia resident related to the airbags. I drive to florida several times a year spending as many as 4-6 weeks there annually. It seems quite reckless for the company not to be acting on this recall. As it stands I have been reluctant to drive the vehicle for my safety and that of my passengers, especially since toyota is advising consumers to have the airbag disabled and post warning not to sit in the passenger side. While I could do a similar thing until infiniti wakes up and acts, I cannot see why I should have to absorb the cost for it. Please help if you can. I appreciate the opportunity to vent regarding this issue. Updated 07-16-15
The air bag warning light came on. Took the vehicle to the dealer and was told the driver's side air bag control module had failed and it would be $900 to replace it. My husband's volkswagen gli was recalled for the exact same problem, and was fixed for free. Why not the infinity? Was told none of the air bags would work without replacing the driver's side module. Still driving without air bags...
