Nissan has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 2005 through 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 interuption. 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, increaing the risk of personal injury. Dealers will replace the front CZS with a redesigned sensor. The manufacturer has not yet provided an owner notification schedule for this campaign. Owners in the other states will recieve extended warranty coverage for the sensor to 10 years. These owners will be notified of the warranty extension by mail and will recieve a sticker to place in their warranty booklet explaining the extended warranty coverage. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
