Vehicle description: medium duty trucks. the steering gear box is mounted to the frame using a combination of two (2) mountings bolts with nuts and two (2) mounting studs. the two mounting bolts thread into mounting nuts that are welded to the inside of the frame. during vehicle manufacturing process, residual welding material from the welding of an adjacent bracket for the abs relay may have accumulated in the two steering gear mounting nuts.
Consequence:

Campaign:
05V262000 on 06/07/2005
Component:
Electrical system:battery:cables
Manufactured:
07/31/1998 - 04/30/2001
Affected:
3,857
Defect:
On certain light duty trucks, the battery cable may have been routed incorrectly during vehicle manufacturing that could allow the battery cable to contact the edge of the rear transmission mounting bracket. during normal vehicle operation the battery cable corrugated protective conduit could become worn away and allow shorting of the positive battery cable to the frame.
Consequence:
This could cause an electrical short, which could result in a fire.
Correction:
For my 1999-2000 models, dealers will inspect and reroute the cable correctly to the smooth side of the rear transmission mounting bracket and secure it to the chassis wiring harness as designed or will have the positive battery cable replaced. for my 2001-2002, dealers will secure the battery cable to the adjacent chassis wiring harness with a plastic tie strap to prevent excessive movement of the cable or if the corrugated protective conduit worn through near the rear transmission mounting bracket or the third frame cross member support will be replaced. the recall began on on september 19, 2005. owners may contact nissan diesel at 972-756-5500.
