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.

This could lead to an increase in the vehicle stopping distance and a crash could occur.  Dealers will modify the brake vacuum line free of charge.  A special coverage for vehicles registered in all other states  will be implemented in the same time frame.  The safety recall is expected to begin on or before October 23, 2009.  Owners may contact Pontiac at 1-800-620-7668 or at the owner center at www.gmownercenter.com.
