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.
