Now that you chopped up your dash for your GPS, you get a second chance to redo it...... ... oh wait they wont replace the dash ... just the airbag

Just checked online and it says mine needs to go in too. Mine is a 2014 model....

So were there two rounds of recalls then?
I eventually got mine done last week.
Still have the flashing airbag light since a ‘bump’ with a taxi many years ago though.

I was at a Nissan event yesterday and the guys were asking me about my recall status with my patrol and I kinda avoided answering on the subject because I have removed my entire airbag system.
I hope it doesn't become a problem similar to the vaccination thing where I get pestered until I'm ticked off the list.

It's a simple job to nuke the airbag light permanently so you never ever see it again ever. I posted something about it a while back, last year maybe

HAd mine done a couple of months ago. Fairly painless exercise and the Nissan mechanic gave the Patrol a clean bill of health aswell...
Given I have a list of about 10 serious to fix items he did not look very hard

Yip, thanks, I remember you gave me that advice. One day I'll get to it, but a wrinkled piece of masking tape stuck on the dash will do for now

When I checked in at the service section, the guy said he just wants to do a walk around and identify any scratches or dents as part of their process, I told him he'd be there all day if he wanted to note all those down!

Gheez I have almost given up on this recall story. Who else has a pre-facelift GU (mine is 2004) who had airbags recalled and got it done? My VIN says no on the website, but others had theirs done.

Hi Rhett

also forgot about it and the letter came out the blue ... mine is a 2007. I attach the letter.

Hi Rhett,

mine is 2003 model and I have an appointment tomorrow for the passenger airbag. lets see if they will say something about that flashing air bag light from drivers seat airbag :D
