The passenger airbag warning light on my 2017 QX60 AWD began flashing non-stop, indicating that the airbag was not working properly. After bringing it to the Infiniti dealer, the stated that the ODB code B00A0 was showing up, which is for the Occupant Classification System (OCS) for the passenger airbag. In order to fix this, they need to replace both OCS seat sensors, as well as the OCS module, at a cost of $1,600. Until this repair is made, the passenger airbag will not work in a collision. This is the same issue that has plagued various Infiniti models in prior years, including the QX60 (2014-16) which were included in a recall (NHTSA# 16V-244). It is obvious that the issue also exists in the 2017 models, and the recall should be expanded to include this year as well.
