Could the pre-tensioner have fired? If it did, then I would imagine nissan would put that in the 'driver accident damage' category and give you TD1 (you voided the warranty by your actions). I think (VStar may know for sure) that the lifetime was against defects in the webbing and maybe the usual release latch.
Most of the ones with lifetime warranty are lifetime-everything, including the retractors. However, the rules have evolved over the years. If the OP wants to PM me his VIN, I can run it through Service Com and see if the warranty is wall-to-wall or partial. Even a pretensioner firing would be covered if the firing was accidental, and the brain will have information about whether it popped the unit because of sudden deceleration or it went off without prompting. There would be an airbag light for that in either case, so if there isn't one, the pretensioner isn't responsible.
