2009 NISSAN CUBE Recall

Thursday, November 12th, 2009

 images22.jpeg

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.

General Motors has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2009 through 2010 Pontiac Vibe vehicles equipped with 1.8L engines and originally sold in or currently registered in the states of Alaska, Colorado, Idaho, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.  They stated that when driving under certain unique conditions in extremely low ambient temperatures, the intake manifold suction port for the brake vacuum can become locked due to the freezing of condensation resulting from positive crankcase ventilation.

Toyota has announced that they are recalling certain models of the 2004 through 2010 passenger vehicles.  They stated that the acceleration pedal can get stuck in the wide open position due to its being trapped by an unsecured or incompatible driver’s floor mat.

A stuck open accelerator pedal may result in very high vehicle speeds and make it difficult to stop the vehicle, which could cause a crash, serious injury or death.   Toyota will notify owners of affected vehicles to remove any driver’s floor mat and not replace it with any other floor mat pending the development of model specific remedies.  Toyota will mail a second notification to owners of affected vehicles notifying them of the free remedies when they are available.  The first notice is expected to be mailed during October 2009 and Toyota will advise NHTSA of the estimated date when the remedies will be availbale.  Owners may contact Toyota at 1-800-331-4331, Lexus at 1-800-255-3987.
