Summary:
NISSAN IS RECALLING 16,365 MY 2008 INFINITI EX35 AND MY 2009 NISSAN MURANO VEHICLES. DUE TO INCORRECT SOFTWARE PROGRAMMING, THE AIR BAG CONTROL UNIT (ACU) MAY CAUSE THE PASSENGER AIR BAG NOT TO OPERATE AS DESIGNED IF THE VEHICLE BATTERY BECOMES SIGNIFICANTLY DISCHARGED.
Consequence:
THIS COULD RESULT IN THE PASSENGER AIR BAG NOT INFLATING IN A CRASH IN WHICH IT WAS DESIGNED TO DO SO, AND INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY.

i see no airbag failure

[CarPro1993]

@ChrisBennett18 The passenger airbag didn't deploy, and it was supposed to.

[ashjohnsonsen]

@CarPro1993 was there any passenger though?

[CarPro1993]

@ashjohnsonsen

Yes there was. This was supposed to be a NCAP test, where there is a 50th Percentile dummy in both seats, and they usually weigh about 150-165 pounds.

I think you got the Femur Loads in Newtons instead of pounds. The loads in pounds would be 809 / 1057-691 / 399.

[CarPro1993]

Thanks for the conversions!

I wasn't sure because the report had the measures in newtons.
