Manufactured:: 09/04/2001 - 10/09/2001
Affected:: 843
Defect:: On certain passenger vehicles equipped with a traction control system, the odometer in the subject vehicles registers distance in kilometers instead of miles as is specified in the design. the odometer does not have a label that indicates "kilometers" or "km" as required by fmvss no. 101, "controls and displays."

Correction:: Dealers will install a new accelerator pedal stopper. owner notification began march 11, 2002. 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 or infiniti at 800-662-6200.
