Warning Light On problems of the 2010 Infiniti G37

Front passenger seat occupancy classification sensor (OCS) fault: b1018-00. This means that passenger airbag is disabled along with warning lights on the dash and console. Car has only 35k and garage kept and dealer maintained. This is a known issue on many Infiniti / Nissan models that have an official recall, but not on the 2010 G37 for some reason even though it uses the same sensor as other models which do have a recall. Informed by the dealer that they see a lot of this issue and the only way to restore passenger safety is to replace the seat which upwards of $6900. Even if I wanted to replace the seat, I was also informed that there are no replacement seats or internal parts available so I'm on my own! due to this common design flaw in Infiniti / Nissan cars that share this same exact issue, this model should be covered by the same recall. The other models have. My vehicle uses the same exact parts as the recalled ones, has the same issues, and yet because of smaller number of complaints because there are just less of them on the road, they are excluded from the same recall. This safety issue should be recalled immediately before someone gets killed.

At approximately 58000 miles, the airbag warning light illuminated. After taking it to a dealer, it was determined that a $7000+ repair is needed. Internet searches shows this is a design flaw that Infiniti is aware of. In fact, they have recalled similar vehicles with the same design but not my particular vehicle. Either the design is incorrect or it's not. This is a flaw that should be addressed by the manufacturer.

No apparent reason for problems. Seatbelt warning lights for both the driver and front passenger blink/remain lit due to passenger airbag module malfunction. Replaced free of charge under extended warranty at dealership. Seatbelt retractors also replaced due to slack, causing seatbelts to get caught in the door when shut.
