Known issues on the 2008 350Z. One recall is on federal record for this model year, covering the passenger air bag system: a varistor in the occupant classification system control unit may have been manufactured out of specification, which can interrupt the signal between that unit and the air bag control unit and result in the passenger air bag being suppressed, failing to provide protection in a crash. Owners have filed 24 complaints for the year. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind that system are here.

Whether you're chasing an air bag warning light or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and the correct specification for your specific 2008 350Z.
