The airbag light has been blinking since 2011 and I found out this year that there is a recall for that purpose. I reported to nissan company about that after my car was rejected for the annual inspection. They told me that the VIN# of my armada was not included in the recall. I have since heard that there is another recall of nissan cars from 2002 and up. I wonder what action I can take since my armada falls into the years mentioned. Thanks

Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
I own a 2004 nissan armada. About 2 weeks ago while driving the red airbag warning light turned on and would not turn off. I just had it serviced today and was told that the front crash zone airbag sensor being that it is located outside of the front radiator grill ends up rusting out from the elements of our weather. Therefore it needed to be replaced. The car is out of warranty so therefore it was billable. After doing some research I came across a nissan recall from january 2009. The federal safety agency campaign id # is 08v690000. This recall was for the exact same problem with the crash zone sensor rusting out from snow/salt in the northern us states but was only limited to 2005-2009 pathfinders, frontiers and xterra vehicles. I feel that my vehicle should be included in this recall due to the fact that it is the exact same problem listed in the recall and I live in ny state which obviously has winters with snow and salt. The recall issued a redesigned sensor to correct the problem at no cost to the vehicle owner.
Tl*the contact owns a 2004 nissan armada. While driving approximately 45 MPH the air bag light illuminated stating that the air bag was deactivated while there was a passenger in the passenger seat. The vehicle was not taken to the dealer for diagnostic testing. The vehicle was not repaired. The approximate failure mileage was 76,000.
The red airbag light flashes on the dashboard. I took it to two nissan dealerships and was told that it was most likely a failed sensor in the front passenger seat but could not be sure until it was replaced for approximately $1400.00 not refundable if that was not the problem. It could also be the restraint system associated with that seat. Reportedly from both the dealers comments and my research on the internet this is a common problem with my vehicle type.
Dt: supplemental air bag warning light stays on. Owner's manual states that if that happens the air bag will not function properly. Dealer stated that the air bag control unit had to be reset.
My wife of 110 lbs sits in the passenger seat and the passenger air bag light indicates that it is off. With a large degree of fidgeting in the seat it will shut off the light but turns back on within a few moments. We have set in other nissan armadas and the passenger airbag light will go off with her in the passenger seat.
