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.

NEWS:
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.

AUGUST 2010 --
Nissan is recalling certain model year
2010 Nissan Armada vehicles manufactured
from June 7, 2010 through June 11, 2010.
These vehicles fail to comply with the
requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle Safety
Standard No. 207, "Seating Systems." The
second row center seat hinge assembly was
manufactured out of specification. This may
prevent the rear center seatback from fully
locking in the inuse (upright) position. In
the event of a crash, the second row center
seat may not function properly increasing
the risk of injury to the seat occupant.
Dealers will inspect the second row center
seat hinges/lock for proper function. If the
seat does not lock as designed, the second
row center seat hinge assembly will be
replaced with a new one free of charge. The
safety recall began on August 30, 2010.
10V-371
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

Nissan to recall 48K
trucks, SUVs for suspension
YAHOO NEWS --
May 20. 2010 –
Nissan
Motor
Co.
is planning to
recall 48,700
trucks and SUVs
for problems
with a
suspension part
that could lead
to a
rough ride.
Spokesman Colin
Price says the
company is
working on
details with the
National
Highway
Traffic
Safety
Administration
and expects the
recall to begin
this week.
It will cover
some, but not
all,
The Armada,
Titan and
Infiniti QX56
are produced at
the company's
Canton plant.
The Frontier,
Pathfinder
and Xterra are
produced at its
Smyrna, Tenn.,
plant.
The problem
centers on a
lower suspension
control link,
which may not
have been welded
properly. It
could cause the
bushing collar
to crack,
leading to a
rough and noisy
ride. No
accidents have
been reported.

MARCH 2010 -
Nissan is recalling certain model
year 2008-2010 Titan, Armada, and Infiniti
QX56, and model year 2008-2009 Nissan Quest
vehicles. The brake pedal pivot pin end was
not spin-formed to specification during the
manufacturing process of the brake pedal
assembly. The pivot pin could slide and
cause the brake pedal to partially disengage
from the brake pedal bracket. The driver
will experience unusual and noticeable
looseness in the pedal and a reduction in
braking force increasing the risk of a
crash. Dealers will inspect to see if the
pivot pin had been formed properly and will
replace the brake pedal assembly if
necessary free of charge. The safety recall
began on March 22, 2010. 10V-072
MARCH 2010 -
Nissan is recalling certain model
year 2005-2009 Titan, Armada, and Infiniti
QX56 vehicles. The instrument panel fuel
gauge may inaccurately display that the
vehicle still has some fuel, typically
aboutone quarter tank, when the fuel tank is
empty. This could cause the vehicle to run
out of gas and stall on the highway, which
could cause a crash. Dealers will replace
the fuel sender unit inside the fuel tank
with a new improved sender card. This
service will be performed free of charge.
The safety recall began on March 22, 2010.

NEWS:
Nissan to recall
540,000 vehicles globally
YAHOO NEWS --
March 3, 2010 –
Nissan Motor Co (7201.T), Japan's
third-biggest car maker, said it will recall
about 540,000 vehicles worldwide due to
potential defects in brake pedal pins and
fuel-gauge components, mostly in the United
States.
Nissan said
five models from 2008 to 2010 model years,
including the Titan truck and Armada SUV,
would be recalled due to the risk of the
brake pedal pins partially disengaging,
causing a loss of normal braking ability.
This recall
will involve 179,000 cars in the U.S. and
25,800 in other regions, Nissan said in a
statement, adding that there have been three
reported cases of this braking problem.
Nissan also
announced plans to recall 419,000 cars in
the U.S. and 53,000 in other regions for a
separate problem with the
fuel gauge, which can at higher
mileage levels fail to accurately indicate
how much fuel is left in the tank.
The gauge
problem involve six models from the 2005 to
2008 model years, including the Titan,
Armada and the
Infiniti QX56.
Nissan said
no accidents or injuries have been reported

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

may have been manufactured out of
specification. This may result in the manual
seat pawl not fully engaging increasing the
risk of personal injuries in the event of a
crash. Dealers will inspect the seat track
assembly on the driver's and front passenger
seats and replace the entire seat assembly
