Srs airbag light flashes continuously. Started about 3 months ago (March 2024) took car to repair shop, stated OCS control unit and passenger occupant sensors need to be replaced. Took to a nissan dealer for 2nd opinion. Stated today they will replace OCS control unit & passenger occupant sensors. Is this something that could be covered by a recall event?

Power Train · reported Dec 5, 2023

Timing chain needs replacement however the timing chain was already replaced in 2014 under Nissan recall NTB14-030c campaign P4213. This car has 54,000 miles on it and has been serviced at Nissan dealerships according to the Nissan service schedule. There is no reason for this part to need replacing again after so few miles unless the Nissan part was bad, there is an underlying manufacturing issue with the vehicle or the recall replacement was done incorrectly. Nissan Consumer Affairs refuses to assist because the car is out of warranty.
