Nissan is recalling 5,523 MY 2008
Titan, Frontier and Xterra vehicles for failing to comply with
the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No.
110, 'Tire Selection and Rims for Motor Vehicles.' The tire
placard lists an incorrect vehicle capacity weight. This
standard specifies requirements for tire selection to prevent
overloading. Nissan will mail a correct tire placard and
installation instructions to owners of the affected vehicles.
The recall is expected to begin during March 2008. 08V-045
Nissan is recalling 114 MY
2007-2008 Altima passenger vehicles. If the body control module
(BCM) was replaced during service at a dealership, the tire
pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may have been inadvertently
deactivated due to an issue with the dealer service software. If
the TPMS is turned off, it would not alert the driver to a
decrease in the tire pressure as designed. Driving on
under-inflated tires is unsafe and could result in a crash.
Dealers will check the TPMS function and reactivate it if
necessary. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner
notification schedule. 07V-599
Nissan is recalling 653,910 MY
2002 and 2005-2006 Altima and Sentra vehicles equipped with 2.5L
engines. The crankshaft position sensor can overheat causing a
brief interruption in the signal output from the sensor. If the
interruption in the signal from the sensor is so brief that the
electronic control module (ECM) logic does not have time to
diagnose the condition, the engine may stop running without
warning while the vehicle is driven at a low speed increasing
the risk of a crash. Dealers will reprogram the ECM. Certain MY
2006 Altimas which have been previously remedied under recall
campaign 06V223 (Nissan R0606) are not included in this recall
since the reprogramming for that recall also included this
reprogramming. The recall is expected to begin during December
2007. This recall was the subject of a Recall Query, RQ06-001,
conducted by the Office of Defects Investigation. 07V-527
Nissan is recalling 1,115 MY 2008
Xterra sport utility vehicles. The antilock brake system/vehicle
dynamic control (ABS/VDC) actuator is designed with one ball in
the valve section. Some ABS/VDC actuators were manufactured with
more than one ball in the valve. This could result in a
reduction in brake effectiveness without warning increasing the
risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the ABS/VDC actuator with
a new one. The recall is expected to begin during December 2007.
07V-528
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. 07V-435
Nissan is recalling 3,564 MY 2007
Armada sport utility vehicles for failing to comply with the
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety Standard No. 210,
'Seat Belt Assembly Anchorages.' The driver's side third row
seat belt upper anchor bracket may be cracked. In the event of a
crash, a seat occupant may not be properly restrained increasing
the risk of personal injury. Dealers will replace the seat belt
bracket. The recall is expected to begin on or about November 1,
2007. 07V-449
