Nissan has announced that it is recalling certain models of the 2008 through 2010 vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of Connecticut, Delaware, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Massachusetts, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Washington DC, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.  They stated the material in the nut used to secure the sensor transmitter of the tire pressure monitoring system (TPMS) may corrode and potentially crack in areas with heavy concentrations of road salt.  If this occurs, the nut may come out of the sensor transmitter and the TPMS lamp will illuminate.

If the TPMS lamp is disregarded and the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, the tire will quickly loose air pressure at a consistent rate resulting in a flat tire increasing the risk of a crash.  The dealer will replace the TPMS nut with a new, more robust nut.  This service will be preformed free of charge.  The recall is expected to begin on or before November 9, 2009.  Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-662-6200.

This could result in the passenger air bag being suppressed which could fail to provide adequate protection in the event of a crash.  Dealers will test the signal between the OCS and ACU systems using a specail tool to check that it is functioning as designed.  If necessary, the seat cushion (containing OCS hardware) will be replaced with a new one manufactured to specification.  The recall is expected to begin on or about November 3rd 2008.  Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

Nissan has announced that they will be recalling certain models of the 1997 through 2001 Infiniti QX4.  They stated on certain 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, the District Of Columbia, during the coating process of the fuel filler tube assembly, an insufficent amount of coating may have been applied ath 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 preforation 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 preforation 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.

Deralers will replace the fuel filler tube assembly with a new one with an improved coating process.  Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
