Front Driver Side Air Bag Inflator problems of the 2002 Nissan Sentra

Takata recall. Went to dealership to replace the recalled airbag. They inspected the airbag inflator, said it does not need to be replaced. They did not do any repair or replacement work on the takata airbag despite the fact that the recall notification stating that the Nissan dealer will replace the air bag inflator with a new one.

Takata recall. . . . . . Ive been advised by a class action lawsuit settlement notice that my vehicle may have inflators that are subject to recall but I havent heard anything from the manufacturer as to whether my specific vehicle is affected or not. I would like to be contacted to know whether or not my vehicle needs to be checked or repaired.

I took my car in for NHTSA recall 13v-136 to premier Nissan of san jose, and the dealership service rep told me they inspected but did not replace the air bag. They claimed that they could tell whether or not the airbag needed replacement by inspection and that mine didn't need replacement. I am writing to see if it is appropriate that they did not replace my air bag, since the recall notice says "dealer will replace the affected front passenger air bag inflator with a new one. " my air bag light is on, and their diagnostic test indicated a fault with the passenger air bag. They were going to charge me around $800 to change the air bag, and I refused as I don't think I should pay for a defect that is due to the manufacturer.
