- Component:
- Suspension:rear
- Manufactured:
- 07/14/2000 - 09/21/2002
- Affected:
- 143,000
- Defect:
- On certain pickup trucks and sport utility vehicles, water may enter the rear axle housing due to inadequate sealing of the anti-lock braking system (abs) sensor.
- Consequence:
- This can result in corrosion and eventual failure of the wheel bearing. if this occurs, the wheel assembly could separate from the vehicle increasing the risk of a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will inspect the rear axle for water intrusion and any affected components will be replaced. the abs sensor will be resealed to prevent water intrusion. owner notification began december 10, 2003. 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.

- Campaign:
- 02V316000 on 11/26/2002
- Component:
- Wheels:rim
- Manufactured:
- 07/16/2002 - 11/06/2002
- Affected:
- 6,500
- Defect:
- On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with a v6 engine, an incorrect size wheel rim for the spare tire was provided in these vehicles. the wheel rim does not fit properly as a replacement for a front wheel.
- Consequence:
- When installed on the front of the vehicle, the wheel rim will contact the brake caliper causing a loud rubbing noise and could result in wear on the caliper and/or wheel rim if driving continues. continued usage of the spare tire wheel at the front location can also result in loosening of the lug nuts and deterioration in braking performance. this could eventually cause the wheel assembly to separate form the vehicle and result in loss of control and a crash.
- Correction:
- Dealers will replace the spare tire wheel rim with a new one, and remount the spare tire on it. owner notification began january 13, 2003. 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.

- Defect:
- On certain pickup trucks equipped with six cylinder engines and sport utility vehicles equipped with four or six cylinder engines, the fuel pump terminal on the fuel-sending unit can develop a crack in the plastic molding. this can cause the terminal strip to corrode under some environmental conditions.
- Consequence:
- If corrosion occurs, the terminal strip could eventually break causing the fuel pump to stop operation. this will result in not being able to start the engine or cause the engine to stop running without warning, which can result in a crash.
