NHTSA Complaint #10509847 — 2005 NISSAN TITAN

I RECEIVED A RECALL NOTICE (RECALL 06V-459) FROM NISSAN APPROXIMATELY 4 YEARS AGO REGARDING THE WIRING HARNESS BEING DEFECTIVE. THE ORIGINAL NOTICE DID NOT MENTION THAT IT WOULD REQUIRE SERVICE ONLY IF THE AIRBAG LIGHT WAS ON OR FLASHING (WHICH IT WAS NOT). I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE IN FOR THE RECALL (AT KELLY NISSAN OF LYNNFIELD MA), NOT KNOWING THIS AND THEY SIMPLY TAPED THE WIRING HARNESSES AFTER INSPECTION AND RECORDED THE RECALL SERVICED ON THE NISSAN TITAN AND MOST LIKELY CHARGED NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA FOR PARTS AND LABOR FOR A HARNESS REPLACEMENT. AT 65,000 MILES I STARTED TO GET THE AIRBAG SENSOR LIGHT ON MY DASHBOARD FLASHING CONSTANTLY. I RESEARCHED THE FLASHING CODE FROM THE SENSOR AND IT TURNS OUT TO BE RELATED TO THE PASSENGER SIDE WIRING HARNESS. AS RECENTLY AS 2 WEEKS AGO I RECEIVED WHAT I THOUGHT WAS ANOTHER RECALL NOTICE FROM NISSAN OF NORTH AMERICA WHICH CLEARLY STATED THIS TIME " IF THE RED AIRBAG WARNING LAMP IS ILLUMINATED - PLEASE CONTACT YOUR DEALERSHIP IMMEDIATELY FOR REPAIRS" , AFTER SCHEDULING ANOTHER APPOINTMENT WITH THE SAME DEALERSHIP THAT DID THE ORIGINAL RECALL AND BRINGING THE VEHICLE IN THEY TOLD ME THAT THE RECALL HAD ALREADY BEEN DONE AND THE WAS NO OTHER ACTION THAT COULD BE PERFORMED WITHOUT A CHARGE TO ME. THE VEHICLE HAS NEVER BEEN IN AN ACCIDENT AS I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER. I FIND IT DIFFICULT TO BELIEVE THAT IF A VEHICLE HAS A RECALL AND PARTS ARE REPLACED THAT THE SAME FAILURE WILL OCCUR WITH THE REPLACED PARTS, HENCE MY CONCLUSION THAT THE ACTUAL WORK WAS NEVER PERFORMED ONLY RECORDED AS SUCH AGAINST THE VEHICLES (VIN). ANY HELP YOU COULD PROVIDE WOULD BE APPRECIATED. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR
