My passenger airbag light has been on ever since I've owned this vehicle starting January of 2019. I see there has been an open recall on this since May of 2016, which means it hasn't been solved in over 5 years. I feel less comfortable about driving my partner around in my van knowing her airbag may not go off in the event of an accident.
The contact owns a 2014 Nissan NV200. The contact stated that the airbag warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was taken to a local dealer but was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was informed of the failure and informed the contact that there was no recall on the VIN. The failure mileage was approximately 104,116.
While driving the vehicle my air bag light continued to flash. I called my dealership and informed them of the issue and they sated they needed to run diagnotics. After receiving the vehicle back the dealer stated it was a software update needed to the vehicle to comply with the air bag standard. I was charged $130 usd to be told there items needed an update.

On-going issue. Passenger's air bag warning that the airbag is "off" is lit when my spouse is in the seat. This problem is intermittent, but occurs close to 50% of the time. The first time that the vehicle was in the Nissan shop, the tech said that "he could reproduce the problem" and that it was resolved by "resetting the computer". the second time in the shop, we were told that my wife's weight, ~100 lbs, was borderline for the sensor and that we should expect the observed intermittent behavior. They were not able to supply any information regarding the dot guidance on the passenger's weight at which the air bag should be disabled.
