Airbag light on dashboard keeps flashing and passenger occupant light is on even when a passenger is on the passenger seat. Took vehicle to dealer and they reported that they are receiving code 'b1018 - ocs sensor mat malfunctioning.' I know that there is currently a recall for this (the federal safety agency #08-521) but the dealer states that my VIN is not included in this recall, however, my car is has the exact symptoms and codes for that recall. I believe my vehicle should be included in that recall notice.
Air bag light has been on for six months; local dealership said it would cost between $5,000 bs $6,000 to fix passenger seat airbag inflator -- because it required the replacement of the entire seat "frame." car has 21,000 miles on it. I bought it new. No accident; I find no record of a recall.

My 2008 infiniti g35 airbag and passenger airbag lights illuminated. I reset the lights and checked the wiring under the passenger seat but the lights came on again. I took the car to the dealer and they came up with code b1018, occupant sensor (unit fail) past code. They reset the lights and recommend changing the passenger seat bottom if the lights returned. The cost?....$6137 but they will give me a discount, charging me $4176. This model was recalled for this problem but not my car...according to the VIN. My car was manufactured sep 2007, right in the middle of the recalled vehicles manufactured interval. I believe infiniti should be required to assume the cost of this expensive repair by including it in the recall.
Air bag warning light for the passenger seat remains on. I took it to the dealer but was told that I had to pay (nearly $4000) to test the problem and then to replace the seat. Dealer never told me that the car with this problem was subject to a recall, which started in november 2008.
According to the us government, infiniti recalled 2008 g35 for passenger side air bag problem associated with a sensor in the front passenger seat. Air bag warning light on the dash board keeps blinking. The dealer said the recall has to be VIN specific, and thus my car was not subject to the recall. Isn't a recall caused by a common or generic problem that exists in most of if not all cars of same model and same year? In this case 2008 g35? Dealer said I should pay for the repair first and then seek refund from infiniti. $3500 out of my pocket and take a chance? So how do I go about getting vic specific recall?
