Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problems of the 2006 Infiniti M35

Takata recall. The contact owns a 2006 Infiniti M35. The contact received notification of NHTSA campaign number: 17v028000 (air bags) for the frontal passenger air bag inflator; however, the parts to do the repair were unavailable. The contact stated that the manufacturer exceeded a reasonable amount of time for the recall repair. The manufacturer was not notified of the issue. The contact called the local dealer (harte Infiniti, located on 150 weston st, hartford, connecticut, 06120) and was informed that parts were not available, but would maybe be available in December. The contact had not experienced a failure. VIN tool confirms parts not available.

Received a recall notice 2 months ago. Can't get a straight answer from the dealer or infinity as to when thedefective front passenger side air bag inflator will be replaced.

Airbag inflator on passenger side was recalled may 2016. Part is still not available.

Takata inflator replacement has not been installed, rendering the passenger seat unsafe to be occupied. Recall deficiency was identified six months ago.

I am trying to get a definitive answer on my vehicle's airbags. I have been unable to determine if my vehicle was assembled using the recalled takata inflators. I have contacted Nissan consumer affairs on several occasions and I have been given conflicting information. When I enter the VIN of my vehicle on the nhsta website it does not return a "hit" for a recall. However; on more than one occasion I was advised by Nissan consumer affairs that the recall was only applicable to vehicles in high humidity areas and they listed the affected states and geographic areas. Maryland was not on that list. My understanding is that the recall was expanded to include all geographic areas but I have not been able to obtain a definitive answer if my vehicle is now part of the recall. Nissan claims it cannot determine if my vehicle was assembled using takata airbag systems yet it says that my VIN is not affected. Given the high degree of risk of driving a vehicle with defective airbags I must have an accurate assessment if takata airbags/inflators are in my vehicle. I have asked Nissan if they can inspect the vehicle to make this determination but they have refused unless and until I have a problem with the airbags. The obvious problem with this position is that an airbag defect could be fatal. I am counting on your agency to assist me with this issue. Thank you.

Takata recall vehicle purchased around 2009 in florida. Airbag safety indicator light flashing sometime around early 2015. Took vehicle for safety inspection and was told that upon deployment of the air bag, excessive internal pressure is likely to cause inflator to rupture. Contacted manufacturer for coverage under recall, Nissan / Infiniti refused to replace the airbag under recall, despite possibility that, in the event of a crash involving deployment of the air bag, inflator is likely to rupture with peices of metal projected into the vehicle occupants and potentially resulting in serious injury or death. I would like the manufacturer to cover this safety concern for my vehicle under recall # 15v226000, recall # 14v701000 or any other related recalls. Please note that the March 1, 2015 date of occurrence is approximate.
