NOVEMBER 2010 --
Nissan is recalling certain model
year 2002-2004 Frontier vehicles
manufactured from July 9, 2001 through
October 20, 2004, and model year 2002-2004,
Xterra vehicles manufactured from July 9,
2001, through January 6, 2005. Over time
corrosion may form in the lower steering
column joint and limit movement of the
joint. The limited movement of this joint
may create excessive load on the lower
steering column shaft. If the vehicle
continues to be driven in this condition, it
may lead to cracking of the shaft during low
speed maneuvers that require large steering
inputs. The shaft may break which could
result in loss of steering control during
these low speed maneuvers increasing the
risk of a crash. The steering column shaft
and joint will be replaced with a shaft of a
different design. This service will be
performed free of charge. The recall is
expected to begin during December 2010.

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
recalls more than half a million vehicles in
Americas
YAHOO NEWS --
November 11, 2010 – Nissan
recalled over half a million vehicles in the
Americas and Africa on Thursday over fears
that a fault could cause the steering column
to crack.
The Japanese
carmaker said it would recall 303,000
Frontier and 283,000 Xterra SUVs over safety
concerns.
"Nissan
recently discovered that in certain rare
instances, the lower steering column joint
on the affected Frontier and Xterra vehicles
can develop corrosion that limits the
movement of the joint," the firm said in a
statement.
"If the
vehicle continues to be driven in this
condition it may, in an extreme case, lead
to cracking of the steering shaft."
"We regret
any inconveniences that our customers may
experience as we address these issues," said
Kevin Martin of Nissan North America.
The affected
vehicles were built at plants in Tennessee
and Brazil between 2001 and 2008.
The company
also recalled "18,500 Sentra vehicles in the
United States, Mexico, Canada, Argentina,
Brazil and a undisclosed number of African
countries for problems with the battery
cable terminal.
The fault
could result in difficulty starting the
vehicle, "and in rare cases, a possibility
of stalling at low speed," the firm said.
Owners are
advised to take their vehicles to a service
center in early December to have new parts
installed.

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.

SEPTEMBER 2010
-- Nissan is recalling certain vehicles that
were equipped with a Garmin NUVI model 750
navigation system. The batteries contained
in the affected GPS units can overheat.
Overheated batteries could result in a fire.
Nissan will notify owners and the repairs
will be performed by Garmin technicians by
replacing the battery and inserting a spacer
on top of the battery free of charge. The
safety recall began on September 16, 2010.
10V-401
AUGUST 2010 --
Nissan is recalling certain model year
2010 Nissan Frontier king cab vehicles
manufactured from June 10,2010 through June
26, 2010. These vehicles fail to comply with
the requirements of Federal Motor Vehicle
Safety Standard No. 225, "Child Restraint
Anchorage Systems." The weld between the
tether anchor and the seat gusset bracket is
out-of-specification. As a result, and based
on Nissan's engineering judgment, the tether
anchor could separate from the seat when
tested under the conditions required by the
standard. In the event of a crash, the
tether anchorage could separate from the
vehicle seat increasing the risk of injury
to an occupant in a child seat that uses the
tether anchor. The seat gusset containing
the tether anchorage will be replaced with a
new one free of charge. The safety recall
began on August 30, 2010.
10V-372
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

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.
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
