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 2006 and model year 2008 Frontier,
Xterra and Pathfinder vehicles. The molded
fuel tank shells can deform, causing the
fuel sender float arm to contact an
embossment molded into the tank shell
causing the instrument panel fuel gauge to
show that the vehicle has approximately one
quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty.
This could cause the vehicle to run out of
gas and stall in traffic, increasing the
risk of a crash. Dealers will replace the
fuel level sending unit inside the fuel tank
with a new one that has a modified float
arm. This service will be performed free of
charge. The safety recall began on March 22,
2010. 10V-075
MARCH 2010 -
Nissan has notified NHTSA of a defect
in certain model year 2010 Frontier,
Pathfinder, and Xterra vehicles manufactured
from February 22, 2010 to March 13, 2010. On
some of the potentially affected vehicles,
the fasteners securing the passenger front
air bag module, and also the fasteners
securing the steering shaft positioning
bracket may not have been tightened to the
proper torque specification. In the event of
a crash, the passenger front air bag
deployment trajectory might be affected. The
fasteners could possibly come out of the
steering column positioning bracket
increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will
inspect the steering column and the
passenger front air bag fasteners and any
missing fasteners will be replaced and all
loose fasteners will be retightened to the
proper torque specifications free of charge.
The safety recall is expected to begin
during April 2010. 10V-115

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.

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
