Airbag warning light by model year
What owners say
Airbag warning light blinking and won't go off. Was not able to reset. Diagnostic Code 12.
My airbag warning light is on. My mechanic noticed a recall, campaign id r0807, but the recall only affects vehicles registered in 'salt' states. I live in va but traveled extensively in pa, maryland, dc for work for many years. Since my vehicle is experiencing the failure that the recall was issued for, my vehicle should be covered as part of the recall. The recall should be extended to bordering states to account for frequent travel across state lines.
My airbag light is flashing and the front air bag crash zone sensor needs to be replaced. There is a recall in effect, but only for vehicles in 'salt' states. My vehicle is registered in va, but I traveled in pa, md, and dc for several years for work, so my vehicle should be covered on the existing warranty recall.
The driver air bag light came on. Vehicle was taken to a nissan dealer. It was determined that the air bag module was bad. The dealer informed me that the air bag is a takata. Vehicle is a 2009 frontier pro 4x with 117,000 miles. Contacted nissan and was informed that vehicle mileage and age does not warrant any assistance from nissan in making the repair. There was a recall on takat air bags.

Recall number 23V067000 · Recall details
Air bags: frontal
- What is wrong
- Nissan is recalling 242,720 my 2005-2009 pathfinder, frontier and xterra vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin, and the district of columbia. In those areas of the country which use heavy concentrations of road salt in the winter, a mixture of snow/water and salt can enter into the front crash zone sensor (czs) housing. If this occurs, the czs may internally rust resulting in a signal interruption. If this happens, the red air bag warning light will illuminate to alert the vehicle operator.
- Risk
- This issue could result in the non-deployment of the driver and passenger front air bags in a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the front czs with a redesigned sensor. The recall began on january 26, 2009. Owners in the other states will receive extended warranty coverage for the sensor to 10 years. These owners will be notified of the warranty extension by mail and will receive a sticker to place in their warranty booklet explaining the extended warranty coverage. Owners may contact nissan at 1‑800‑647‑7261.
