Official summary

SERVICE INFORMATION Nissan is issuing this Technical Service Bulletin to clarify that a change has been made for the logic that controls the Occupant Classification System (OCS) and 'passenger airbag indicator' (PABI), as described in the Owner?s Manual. This TSB applies only to vehicles using the 2-sensor OCS. Those changes are: * PABI light is ON with an empty front passenger seat. Please see this bulletin for further details.

What a TSB means. Technical service bulletins are repair guidance manufacturers send to dealers — they are not recalls, and repairs are not automatically free (warranty extensions are an exception worth checking). The full document is available via NHTSA’s vehicle lookup.
