2011 Nissan Murano: airbag warning light

Filed Nov 17, 2025 · Airbags · WA

The passenger airbag warning light illuminated and remains on. A Nissan dealer diagnosed the issue as a failure of the Occupant Classification System sensor in the passenger seat. This causes the airbag system to be disabled and could prevent deployment in a crash. I was informed that my 2011 Murano is not included in Nissan’s previous airbag/OCS recalls (such as 16V244), even thought the symptoms appear identical. Repair requires replacement or reprogramming of the seat/OCS components and is very expensive ($2000-$7000). This is a critical safety issue because the passenger airbag may not function at all. Based on similar complaints from other 2011 Murano owners, this my represent a widespread defect that warrants investigation and a recall. Safety needs to be a priority. We were originally told to reset the light by a series of steps involving turning the car on and off. The process worked on a previous incident but now the light remains solid red and reset does not work.

Airbag light comes on indicating a problem. After a quick investigation of this problem it becomes evident that it’s very common and Nissan hasn’t admitted any problem . The cost to fix this is half the value of the car!!

1-the dashboard is cracking all over. Many cracks and also cracking by the rightt side dash airbag. My car is in the garage 98% of the time. We only drive this car once or twice a month. We are not the original owners we have this car for about 2 1/2 years and only put 1000 miles on it. The car has 109631 miles on it. The car is in mint condition inside and out. 2- the airbag light comes on and was diagnosed as the passenger front seat occupant sensor. On this model the sensor is built into the seat bottom. This means that you need to replace the whole seat bottom which the part alone runs about 2500.00.
