NEWS:
Nissan recalling more than 240,000 trucks
WASHINGTON -- January 8,
2009 -- Nissan Motor Co. is recalling more
than 240,000 trucks in 20 cold weather
states to fix a problem that could prevent
front air bags from deploying in a crash.
The government said in a posting on its Web
site Wednesday that the recall affects the
Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra for the
2005-2009 model years.
In states where winter time road salt is
used, a mix of snow and salt could enter a
crash zone sensor area and rust,
interrupting the signal and potentially
preventing the front air bags from deploying
in a crash.
Nissan spokesman Colin Price said the
problem was discovered through warranty
claims and there had been no crashes or
injuries linked to the issue.

DECEMBER
2008 -- Nissan is
recalling 242,720 MY 2005-2009 Pathfinder,
Frontier and Xterra vehicles originally sold
in or currently registered in the states of
Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts,
Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio,
Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West
Virginia, Wisconsin, and the District of
Columbia. In those areas of the country
which use heavy concentrations of road salt
in the winter, a mixture of snow/water and
salt can enter into the front crash zone
sensor (CZS) housing. If this occurs, the
CZS may internally rust resulting in a
signal interruption. If this happens, the
red air bag warning light will illuminate to
alert the vehicle operator. This issue could
result in the non-deployment of the driver
and passenger front air bags in a crash,
increasing the risk of personal injury.
Dealers will replace the front CZS with a
counter measured sensor. These sensors were
manufactured in Japan. The manufacturer has
not yet provided an owner notification
schedule for this campaign. Owners in the
other states will receive extended warranty
coverage for the sensor to 10 years. These
owners will be notified of the warranty
extension by mail and will receive a sticker
to place in their warranty booklet
explaining the extended warranty coverage.
08V690
JANUARY 2008 -- 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
