My car seat belts are not working properly on the passenger side and my air bags warning lights are flashing. I contacted Nissan North America and asked them about any recalls for this car and they said no. However, I went on -line to several websites, such as www.internetautoguide.com and found that they are recalls on my 2007 Nissan Versa 4door hatchback since June 18, 2007 due to a manufacturing process with regards to the terminals for the passenger side seat belt tension sensor harness connector which results in a loss of electrical continuity causing the occupant detection system to become inoperative. The consequence: If this occurs, the air bags warning light will come on the passenger side frontal air bag will be suppressed. Please advise. Additionally, I purchased the car new July 20, 2007 and was not made aware of this. The recall id#64288 affected unit 16309.

I own a 2007 Nissan Versa which has a recalled issue for an air bag/seat belt defect for the passenger side. I contacted Nissan and they are saying my VIN is not included in the recall. My 2007 Versa has the "passenger side air bag off" light on even when someone sits in the seat. With that light on the air bag is not able to deploy nor will the seat belt work. I had the part replaced by a Nissan dealership and not even a week later the same light came back on and remains on. I am being advised to have it fixed another time but do not count on it being fixed as I have already had it switched out one time already.

I purchased a 2007 Nissan Versa in July of 2006; 3 weeks later the passenger side air bag cover came off the dashboard. Took it to the dealer ship and they pushed it back in and order a new one. They said it wasn't a safety concern. They new back took about 2 months to arrive. They replaced it and a bout a week later the air bag cover came off the dash board again. Went back to the dealer ship and they kept it for a 2 days and they told me they had screwed/ bolted down the air bag to the inside of the dash board. Last week I called them because the cover came off once again and they called a field engineer to come take a look at the car, meanwhile they say is safe to drive the car like it is right now. Should I be concerned of the air bag cover exposed like it is? sense this is the 3rd time am really concerned about the safety of my family in case the bag deploys.
