I tried to make contact with the nissan dealer and after finding my vehicle return a positive airbag recall on airbagrecall.com. The local deal said it is not listed in their system and did not offer to look into it any further. I told them they could look it up on an internet based system to see what I was seeing but they declined. Wilson motor company wilson nissan 328 north main street, logan (435) 752-7355
