10V312000 on 07/06/2010
Component:
Air bags:frontal
Manufactured:
08/23/2001 - 08/27/2001
Affected:
46
Defect:
Nissan is recalling forty-six certain model year 2002 pathfinder and infiniti qx4 vehicles manufactured from august 24, 2001 through august 28, 2001. the air bag inflator contains propellant wafers that are required to properly deploy the front passenger air bag. due to improper propellant wafer installation during the air bag inflator assembly process, some air bag inflators may be missing one of the wafers. as a result, the remaining wafers in the inflator used for the deployment of the front passenger air bag may, over time, break up into powder due to normal vibration experienced while driving. this causes the combustion rate of the propellant to increase inside the inflator, which can lead to internal pressure rising suddenly during air bag deployment.
Consequence:
The inflator housing may rupture and pieces of the inflator could strike and injure vehicle occupants.
Correction:
Nissan will notify the owners of the forty-six affected vehicles. dealers will replace the front passenger air bag module assembly with a new one free of charge. the safety recall began on august 19, 2010. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261 and infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.

Manufactured:
09/30/1995 - 07/30/2004
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.
