NEWS: Nissan
is recalling 14,700 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles; Engine oil leak
DECEMBER
2011
-- Nissan is recalling certain model year
2011 Infiniti FX, model year 2012 Infiniti M, model year 2011-2012 Nissan
frontier, model year 2011-2012 Nissan Xterra, model year 2011-2012 Nissan
pathfinder, and model year 2012 Nissan NV vehicles. Some of the bolts that
connect the engine oil cooler and the engine oil filter to the engine in these
vehicles may have been manufactured to below specification strength. As a
result, the bolt may break at the oil filter attachment point and can cause an
engine oil leak. If there is an engine oil leak, the engine oil pressure would
drop and the engine could seize, increasing the risk of a crash. Nissan will
notify owners, and dealers will replace the connector bolts free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to begin on or about January 19, 2012. Owners may also
contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety
hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.Safercar.Gov

APRIL 2011 --
Nissan Is Recalling Certain Model Year 1996-2004 Pathfinder and Model Year
1997-2003 Infiniti QX4 vehicles originally sold, or currently registered in the
District of Columbia, Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,
Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire,
New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington
D.C., West Virginia and Wisconsin. In areas of the country in which heavy
concentrations of road salt are used, a mixture of snow/water and salt may enter
an assembly location hole in the upper strut housing, causing water to collect
at the mating surface of the strut housing panel and the inner hood ledge
assembly. Over time, thissnow/water and salt intrusion may result in corrosion
of the strut tower housing in some subject vehicles. The strut housing may crack
and pull away from the inner hood ledge assembly. This may lead to grinding
noises, increased steering effort, and possibly the steering column to break,
resulting in the loss of steering control, which could result in a crash. Nissan
will inspect the strut housing and repair the vehicles as necessary free of
charge. An interim notification letter to owners will be mailed on or before May
16, 2011. 11V-244
OCTOBER 2010 -- Nissan is recalling certain model year 2004-2006
Armada, Titan, Infiniti QX56 and model year 2005- 2006 Frontier, Pathfinder and
Xterra Vehicles. The intelligent power distribution module (IPDM) assembly
contains an engine control module (ECM) relay that has a diode for electrical
current noise reduction. The ECM relay may allow silicon vapor to form and, over
time, the silicon evaporates from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide
to develop on the ECM relay contact due to arcing. This could cause engine
stalling increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the ECM relay
inside the IPDM assembly. This service will be performed free of charge. The
safety recall is expected to begin during December 2010. 10V-517 |

Nissan announces recall of 747,000 trucks, SUVs in U.S.
YAHOO NEWS -- October
28, 2010 Nissan
North America announced a
recall on Thursday of
747,000 trucks and SUVs in
the U.S. because of the risk
of failure to the electrical
systems.
Nissan said the recall
extends to Nissan Armadas
and Titans from 2004 to
2006, Infiniti QX56s from
2005 and 2006, as well as
Nissan Frontiers,
Pathfinders and Xterras from
August 2003 and June 2006.
The company said that it
needs to replace the
electrical relays in the
engine control modules --
the computers that control
engine performance and other
essential components of
motor vehicles.
The Japanese automaker said
the problem may cause the
engine to stall. In extreme
cases, a stalled engine
cannot be restarted.
"Silicon vapor may form
inside the electrical relay
that supplies voltage to the
engine control module," said
the company. "Over time,
this vapor could create
oxidation on the electrical
contacts in the relay that
may lead to engine
performance issues,
including the possibility of
stalling at low engine
speeds."
No related injuries or
accidents have been
reported, Nissan said.
In addition to the U.S.
recall, Nissan North America
said the recall extends to
23,000 of these vehicles in
Canada.
World-wide, the company is
recalling 2.2 million of
these vehicles with similar
potential for failure.
In Japan, the models
affected include Cube,
Lafesta, March, Note,
Serena, Sylphy, Tiida,
Tiida-Latio and Winglord.

JULY
2010 --
Nissan is recalling certain
model year 2002 Pathfinder
and Infiniti QX4 vehicles
manufactured from August 24,
2001 through August 28,
2001. The air bag inflator
contains propellant wafers
that are required to
properly deploy the front
passenger air bag. Due to
improper propellant wafer
installation during the air
bag inflator assembly
process, some air bag
inflators may be missing one
of the wafers. As a result,
the remaining wafers in the
inflator used for the
deployment of the front
passenger air bag may, over
time, break up into powder
due to normal vibration
experienced while driving.
This causes the combustion
rate of the propellant to
increase inside the
inflator, which can lead to
internal pressure rising
suddenly during air bag
deployment. The inflator
housing may rupture, causing
an irregular deployment and
some possibility of
producing loose metal
fragments, increasing a risk
of injury to the front
passenger. Dealers will
replace the front passenger
air bag module assembly with
a new one free of charge.
The safety recall is
expected to begin during
August 2010. 10V-312
JULY
2010 --
Nissan is recalling model
year 2008 Nissan Armada and
Infiniti QX56 vehicles
manufactured from February
7, 2007 through February 14,
2007. These vehicles fail to
comply with the requirements
of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 201,
"Protection in Interior
Impact." An
out-of-specification
a-pillar finisher might
impede the correct inflation
of the side curtain air bag
near the upper portion of
the b-pillar. Incorrect
inflation of the side
curtain air bag may increase
the risk of injury to a
vehicle occupant in the
event of a crash requiring
deployment of that air bag.
Dealers will replace both
right and left front pillar
finishers free of charge.
The safety recall is
expected to begin on or
before August 16, 2010.
10V-349
MAY
2010 --
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2010 Titan, Armada, QX56, Frontier,
Xterra, and Pathfinder vehicles manufactured from November 19, 2009 through
March 3, 2010. The lower control link assembly has two cylindrical collars
forming the inboard attachment points to the chassis. Due to an improper welding
process some collars may contain welds that do not meet strength specifications.
If the collar weld separates, the vehicle handling will deteriorate, possibly
resulting in a vehicle crash. Nissan will notify owners and dealers will repair
the vehicles free of charge. The safety recall is expected to begin on or about
June 14, 2010. 10V-208 |

APRIL 2010 -- Nissan is recalling certain
model year 2005 through 2007 Infiniti G35 sedans manufactured from March 29,
2004 through August 25, 2006 and Infiniti G35 coupes manufactured from April 1,
2004 through May 30, 2007. The wire harness connecting the belt tension sensor
(BTS) and the occupant detection sensor (ODS) control unit under the front
passenger seat can experience relative movement which can cause wear and
oxidization of the terminals and may cause interruption of the signal. In the
event of a crash, the airbag may not deploy, increasing the risk of injury.
Nissan has not yet provided the agency with a remedy plan or notification
schedule. 10V-175 |

Nissan
to recall Infiniti G35 over
air bag issues
YAHOO NEWS -- May 4, 2010
Nissan Motor Co. said
Tuesday it will recall
nearly 135,000 Infiniti G35
sedans and coupes to address
a problem that could lead to
the air bag not deploying in
a crash.
Nissan said the recall
involves G35 Coupes from the
2005 to 2007 model years and
G35 Sedans from the 2005 to
2006 model year.
The automaker says the air
bag unit's wire harness
under the front passenger
seat could wear down and
interrupt the air bag's
signal. In a crash, the air
bag may not deploy and could
increase the risk of an
injury.
Nissan spokesman .... said
there have been no injuries
reported.
The National Highway Traffic
Safety Administration said
Nissan had not yet provided
the agency with a plan to
fix the vehicles. Price said
Nissan would provide NHTSA
with information on the
repair in May and begin
notifying owners of the
recall in June.
Price said if a vehicle's
red air bag warning light
had turned on, the owner can
bring their car into their
dealer for repair.

OCTOBER 2008 -- Nissan
is recalling 204,361 MY
2007-2008 Altima, Altima
Coupe, 350Z, Murano, Rogue;
and Infiniti G35 Sedan, G37
Coupe and EX35 passenger
vehicles equipped with
Continental Automotive
Systems occupant
classification system (OCS)
control units. A varistor in
the OCS control unit located
in the passenger seat
cushion may have been
manufactured out of
specification. Under certain
conditions, this could cause
an interruption of signal
between the OCS and the air
bag control unit (ACU). This
could result in the
passenger air bag being
suppressed which could fail
to provide adequate
protection in the event of a
crash. Dealers will test the
signal between the OCS and
ACU systems using a special
tool to check that it is
functioning as designed. If
necessary, the seat cushion
(containing OCS hardware)
will be replaced with a new
one manufactured to
specification. The recall is
expected to begin during
November 3, 2008. 08V521
OCTOBER 2009
-- Nissan is recalling
certain model year 2008-2010
vehicles originally sold in
or currently registered in
the states of Connecticut,
Delaware, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana, Massachusetts,
Maine, Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont,
Washington D.C., West
Virginia and Wisconsin. The
material in the nut used to
secure the
sensor-transmitter of the
tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) may corrode
and potentially crack in
areas with heavy
concentrations of road salt.
If this occurs, the nut may
come out of the
sensortransmitter and the
TPMS lamp will illuminate.
If the TPMS lamp is
disregarded and the vehicle
continues to be driven in
this condition, the tire
will quickly lose air
pressure at a consistent
rate resulting in a flat
tire increasing the risk of
a crash. The dealer will
replace the TPMS nut with a
new, more robust nut. This
service will be performed
free of charge. The recall
is expected to begin on or
before November 9, 2009.
09V-393
JUNE 2008
-- Nissan is recalling
180,664 MY 2005-2006 Titan,
Armada and Infinity QX56
vehicles manufactured after
March 17, 2005, that are
equipped with a Visteon air
conditioning condenser fan
motor. The fan motor may not
be properly sealed allowing
excessive water intrusion
and inadequate drainage of
moisture. This could cause
corrosion in the motor
leading possibly to
overheating and a fire.
Dealers will test the air
conditioning condenser fan
motor and replace it if
necessary. The recall is
expected to begin near the
end of July 2008. Owners may
contact Nissan at
1-800-647-7261. This recall
was the subject of a
Preliminary Evaluation,
PE08-037, conducted by the
Office of Defects
Investigation.
08V284000
FEBRUARY 2008 -- 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.
This could result in the
passenger air bag not
inflating in a crash in
which it was designed to do
so, increasing the risk of
injury. Dealers will
reprogram the ACU in
affected vehicles. The
recall began on February 19,
2008. 08V066
SEPTEMBER 2007 -- Nissan is recalling 372,250 MY
1997-2001 Pathfinder and MY 1997-2001 Infiniti QX4 vehicles.
Vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the
states of Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana,
Kentucky, Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota,
New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode
Island, Tennessee, Vermont, Virginia, West Virginia, Wisconsin
and the District of Columbia. During the coating process of the
fuel filler tube assembly, a sufficient coating may not have
been applied at the lower mounting bracket. This could result in
an opening in the coating which can allow water to enter and
make contact with the bare metal of the tube. This may result in
surface rust but not perforation of the tube. However, in those
areas of the country which use heavy concentrations of road salt
in the winter, if a mixture of snow/water and salt makes contact
with the bare metal, corrosion may occur to a degree which
results in perforation of the tube. In this case fuel leakage
may occur when filling the tank. Fuel leakage, in the presence
of an ignition source, could result in a fire. Dealers will
replace the fuel filler tube assembly with a new one with an
improved coating process. The recall is expected to begin on or
about November 26, 2007. 07V435
