JULY
2010 --
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2002
Pathfinder and Infiniti QX4 vehicles
manufactured from August 24, 2001 through
August 28, 2001. The air bag inflator
contains propellant wafers that are required
to properly deploy the front passenger air
bag. Due to improper propellant wafer
installation during the air bag inflator
assembly process, some air bag inflators may
be missing one of the wafers. As a result,
the remaining wafers in the inflator used
for the deployment of the front passenger
air bag may, over time, break up into powder
due to normal vibration experienced while
driving. This causes the combustion rate of
the propellant to increase inside the
inflator, which can lead to internal
pressure rising suddenly during air bag
deployment. The inflator housing may
rupture, causing an irregular deployment and
some possibility of producing loose metal
fragments, increasing a risk of injury to
the front passenger. Dealers will replace
the front passenger air bag module assembly
with a new one free of charge. The safety
recall is expected to begin during August
2010. 10V-312
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

NEWS:
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

JUNE 2008
-- Nissan is recalling 180,664 MY
2005-2006 Titan, Armada and Infinity QX56
vehicles manufactured after March 17, 2005,
that are equipped with a Visteon air
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
expected to begin near the end of July 2008.
Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
This recall was the subject of a Preliminary
Evaluation, PE08-037, conducted by the
Office of Defects Investigation. 08V284
