2001 INFINITI QX4 Recalls (5)

Campaign:
00V410000 on 12/11/2000
Component:
Electrical system:ignition
Manufactured:
09/30/1999 - 03/21/2000
Affected:
9,200
Defect:
Vehicle description: passenger vehicles. these vehicles may have an ignition lock assembly with improperly seated key cylinder cap connector pins. vibration can cause the connecting pins to loosen and/or fall out allowing the key cylinder cap to disengage from the key cylinder.
Consequence:
If this occurs, the steering wheel lock rod can move, which could lock the steering wheel, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will inspect the ignition lock assembly and assemblies with loose or missing end cap connector pins will be replaced. a ring clip will be installed on all others to prevent loosening of the pins.
Notes:
Owner notification began december 22, 2000. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
Campaign:
01V282000 on 09/05/2001
Component:
Structure:body:hatchback/liftgate:hinge and attachments
Manufactured:
01/07/2001 - 06/07/2001
Affected:
31,000
Defect:
Vehicle description: sport utility vehicles. some of the brackets used to attach the two gas struts to the rear door (hatch) may have been improperly made. at high ambient temperatures, the increase in gas pressure in the strut(s) could cause one or both brackets to bend, resulting in the struts detaching from the bracket(s) when opening or closing the rear door.
Consequence:
If both struts detach from the brackets, the door will rapidly fall down, possibly striking someone and causing serious injury.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the strut brackets. owner notification began september 24, 2001. owners who take their vehicles to an authorized dealer on an agreed upon service date and do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Notes:
Also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's auto safety hotline at 1-888-dash-2-dot (1-888-327-4236).
Campaign:
07V435000 on 09/17/2007
Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:tank assembly:filler pipe and cap
Manufactured:
05/23/1997 - 07/23/2001
Affected:
372,250
Defect:
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 and the district of columbia, during the coating process of the fuel filler tube assembly, an insufficient amount of coating may have been applied at 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.
Consequence:
This may result in surface rust but not perforation 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 perforation 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.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the fuel filler tube assembly with a new one with an improved coating process. the recall began on november 26, 2007. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Notes:
Customers may also contact the national highway traffic safety administration's vehicle safety hotline at 1-888-327-4236 (tty 1-800-424-9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

Component:
Steering:column
Manufactured:
08/31/1996 - 10/30/2002
Affected:
195,991
Defect:
Nissan is recalling certain model year 1996-2004 pathfinder and model year 1997-2003 infiniti qx4 vehicles originally sold, or currently registered in, connecticut, delaware, iowa, illinois, indiana, massachusetts, maine, maryland, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, washington d.c., west virginia and wisconsin. in areas of the country in which heavy concentrations of road salt are used, a mixture of snow/water and salt may enter an assembly location hole in the upper strut housing, causing water to collect at the mating surface of the strut housing panel and the inner hood ledge assembly. over time, this snow/water and salt intrusion may result in corrosion of the strut tower housing in some subject vehicles.
Consequence:
The strut housing may crack and pull away from the inner hood ledge assembly. this may lead to grinding noises, increased steering effort, and possibly the steering column to break, resulting in the loss of steering control, which could result in a crash.
Correction:
Nissan will inspect the strut housing and repair the vehicles as necessary, free of charge. an interim notification letter was sent out in may 2011. the second notice was mailed on july 25, 2011. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
