Good luck getting it done by 2020 ,haven't made enquiries yet but I believe most cardealer workshops can't handle the numbers involved within the timeframe allowed .

My 2007 Y61 Patrol falls within those date periods. Yet my local Nissan dealer claims my vehicle "is not in the recall range as of todays date". I find that strange. Anyone else having their airbags swapped out?

Is it for driver's or passenger's bags? I've heard both and am confused. My 2001 Y61 only has driver's bag.

I know there's another thread here that's got much more detail from a year or so ago.

[TPC]

I believe it is the passenger side airbag, I had mine done a couple of years ago so I assume it is ok now.

That's what I've heard in the past. Passenger bags only but wonder why would only passenger side be Takata bags but not driver's side?? So Is driver's side bags OK and not made by Takata??

Gotta love government bullcrap wording like this from your link:

"Certain passenger airbag inflators may allow moisture to enter the airbag inflator causing the propellant in the inflator units to deteriorate." Deterioration of the propellant may lead to abnormal deployment of the passenger airbag."

But the hazards?

"Abnormal passenger airbag deployment or metal fragment scatter may pose a hazard to the occupants of the vehicle."

Umm what?? Metal fragment scatter? Like a shotgun in the face maybe??

This is seriously a ridiculous situation patted down by the powers. "It's all OK folks. You have a 410 pointing at your face but if you don't run into anything you'll be OK. Just bring it in please."

Groan....

OK I'd like to speak to the person in charge of this circus.

But of course not.

So who knows what's going on here?

We'll get back to you. Just don't deploy your airbags until we reply.

When will that be?

We'll get back to you.

(Face palm)

[PeeBee]

Interesting read on the airbag list. Funny, the dealership had my car for 3 days fixing an oil leak and never mentioned it was due for the airbag replacement. Wonder if its all the bags or just the front ones?

Nah that's ridiculous. It's not the front silly. It's front and side.

But might be passenger, or passenger and side.

We'll get back to you.

Just don't crash until we get back to you.

Am I the only one totally confused about this? So many recalls for this issue. First recall came out 18 months ago and now it's going off in the media again?

So what the fcuk is going on?

Maybe i'm easily confused.

no not really..the ones fitted had a life span of 6yrs...so if they replace with same shit..then needs replacing another 6yrs......so ya still get on ok.just make sure they do replace again

at the start,they left it to the manufacturors..or whover them fukka are.....and now cause they didn't listen...the gov has made it as manditorry or how eveer they say it...

[2HQueues]

The way I see it is that Nissan are waiting for their letter from the ACCC before they act. It seems some dealers are more pro-active than others, the "others" only performing the swap out when they are ordered to by the ACCC. What does that tell you?

[Bidja]

I got a letter from Nissan and then a number of phone calls over a month chasing me to lock it in and get the change over. My GU was done before Christmas.

x2, 2008GU changed over Aug17 but my concern then was with what design of inflator. Up until today, I understood that the replacement inflator was a Takata with a couple of bags of desiccant thrown in for good measure. Must say have been concerned.

Rang Nissan customer service center today and they stated, as my inflator was replaced within the last 12 months it would not have been with a Takata. Against my VIN the actual replacement was a Diacel airbag inflator that has no known design deficiencies and is considered to be safe and suitable. No problems nissan say.

Nissan told me that some vehicles (changed over greater than 12 months ago) had defective inflators replaced with a "so called" improved Takata with the 6yrs (shelf life only) warranty given. Understand these will be subject to a further recall. Check with Nissan 1800 035 035 (option 2) and quote your VIN and they should let you know what is going on for you.

Note: It took 2 calls to them today. The first time, they said that the defective inflator was replaced with an other Takata airbag with improved mounting bolt head sealing rings "turned out to be crap" but the second time a tech type actually quoted the recall rework parts used against my VIN (the Diacel airbag inflator).

Sometime it better to be slack and don't rush in.. See what eventuates with time, hopefully this time issss all good.

Remember to keep your head down after warranty runs out. Next mod a periscope maybe ....

Some dealers have seen this as a business opportunity to contact their customers and call them in for the airbag replacement, then drum up business for paint cleaning, headlight restoration, valeting, etc. Then they return the car with the same airbag fitted because parts not available.

[jack]

My daughter has a Mazda 2 and had the airbag replaced 6 mths ago THEN got another recall letter because they replaced it with another defective airbag.

... which is exactly what happened with the first of the Patrol recalls as well.
Then they used the limited life Takata and now a different manuf

[Bidja]

Hope mine does not need to go back in again for another recall. Cannot afford them to continue stripping threads or forgetting to refit dash fastening screws. They even busted my key reader coil plastic spool and of course it was not us nissan says. Was good I was able to bond it all together with a good quality UV set adhesive.

I forgot about this on Leah's Nav. Thanks for reminding me!

FWIW, received an email from ‘CityLink’ (Melbourne toll freeways) today warning of this recall with ACCC web links within.
My 1999 ute not listed but the family 2001 wagon was and apparently as an ‘Alpha’ ???
ACCC second link within warns that these ‘Alpha’ were of highest priority as per screenshot below. http://www.nissanpatrol.com.au/forums/images/imported/2018/03/38.jpg Rang our nearest Nissan dealer immediately and they punched in the wagons rego to check their system and reckon all fine? When asked what on earth is going on was then told that the 4.2TD 2001 was fine and other engine variants in this year “could” be the reason for the overall ACCC model/year listing. I guess we have to trust their internal putter says ok??

I just checked my VIN on the Nissan web page and this was the response:

Vehicle not involved
Your vehicle does not have an active Takata airbag safety Recall.

It may be subject to a future recall (Takata or otherwise). Note this data is from the Nissan warranty system and is accurate as of last Friday.

Is this recall just for passenger side airbags or both? My '01 Y61 ST TD42T has drivers side only I believe.

[jack]

Question for those who have had the airbag replaced by Nissan.
Did they put a sticker in the door/glovebox or any other notification that the airbag had actually been replaced?
If not, how do you know if it's been replaced.

[TPC]

They never put a sticker in mine, Nissan will have a record of it being replaced so you check with them.

An Other Replacement

Well Takata replacement time has come around again....Surprise surprise, see what life this one has as long as it is not ours or you folk.

Just received this email for "immediate action", they could not wait for snail mail, but of course only limited spaces available for booking in for job (earliest 9 Jan 19). Yeah they are real concerned not...lol

Dear JOHN,

Further to our communications in June 2018, Nissan has now brought forward the initiation of the recall for the previously replaced It is critical that you urgently contact a Nissan Dealer to arrange for the airbag to be checked and replaced, if faulty.




Please note that you must book your vehicle in with a Nissan Dealer. If you present your vehicle to a Nissan Dealer without an appointment there may be a delay in getting your vehicle rectified.

Further information in relation to this recall can be found in our online information hub. If you have any further queries, please contact an authorised Nissan Dealer, or call the Nissan Customer Service Centre on 1800 988 334.

You may also wish to contact the ACCC to report your concerns.
Takata passenger side airbag inflator. The replacement airbag inflator also has a fault that could kill or seriously injure people in the vehicle. You should immediately contact a Nissan Dealer to arrange for the airbag to be replaced.




Your Nissan Patrol is installed with a faulty Takata airbag. If you are involved in a collision, the airbag can go off with too much explosive force causing sharp metal fragments to shoot out and kill or seriously injure people in the vehicle. It is important that you immediately contact a Nissan Dealer to arrange for the airbag inflator to be replaced.

We will perform this replacement free of charge.

Please take note that any replacement airbag installed in your vehicle following a collision or other incident may also be faulty.
If you are deaf or have a hearing or speech impairment and require extra assistance, please visit the National Relay Service.

Nissan sincerely apologises for any inconvenience caused by the Takata Airbag Inflator Recall.

Yours sincerely,
Nissan Motor Co. (Australia) Pty Ltd

My original replacement was 2016, now done again December 2018. Seems the replacements were bad as well.

[Bidja]

9th Jan double up replacement. Well how long did they think the desiccant would last anyway and how many screws will they forget to replace this time !!!!

[4bye4]

Just had my second one done. Maybe they should make it a service item, like every 5000k or so.

[Sprock]

We chased this up 6mths ago when it all 1st came to light & was told it could potentially kill us but they wouldn’t have the time or parts for 12mths , then a few weeks ago we got an email & I got a text msg on my fone - no idea how Nissan have my number because I brought it 2nd hand & have never dealt with Nissan directly , stating it must be done immediately.

i think due to the nature of the issue maybe they have access to certain details from vic roads etc?

[Sprock]

Yeah must have mate , still spun me out a bit , I don’t hand my number out willy nilly so it was a bit of a surprise. 6mths ago they said it could kill us but they didn’t have the parts to fix it for 12mths - now all of a sudden it’s urgemt

[mudski]

Lucky for you. Acording my VIN I don't require the change, but I have a series 4 leather wheel fitted and as far as I know, all series 4's require an air bag change. So I'm stuffed. I've just disconnected the airbag from the loom now.
