2008 NISSAN XTERRA Recalls (7)

Campaign:
07V528000 on 11/15/2007
Component:
Service brakes, hydraulic:antilock:control unit/module
Manufactured:
10/18/2007 - 10/28/2007
Affected:
1,115
Defect:
On certain sport utility vehicles, the antilock brake system/vehicle dynamic control (abs/vdc) actuator is designed with one ball in the valve section. some abs/vdc actuators were manufactured with more than one ball in the valve.
Consequence:
In abs/vdc actuators with more than one ball, it is possible that fluid flow could be blocked and cause a reduction in brake force in one or both front wheels or affect operation of the abs and/or vdc. this could result in a reduction in brake effectiveness without warning increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the abs/vdc actuator with a new one. the recall began on december 31, 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.
Campaign:
07E105000 on 12/16/2007
Component:
Service brakes, air:antilock:control unit/module
Affected:
10,481
Defect:
Certain continental automotive abs and esc control modules sold for installation on the vehicles listed above. some of the hydraulic valves in the esc module were built with extra check balls.
Consequence:
The extra check balls can restrict the flow of brake fluid through the valve and cause reduction of brake force.
Correction:
Each vehicle manufacturer will file a defect report and remedy plan for their vehicles which included these modules as original equipment. vehicles will be repaired at no cost to the owner. owners can contact either their vehicle manufacturer or continental automotive at 248-393-5300 for further information.
Notes:
Customers may 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.
Campaign:
08V045000 on 01/29/2008
Component:
Equipment:other:labels
Manufactured:
08/19/2007 - 09/09/2007
Affected:
5,523
Defect:
Nissan is recalling 5,523 my 2008 titan, frontier and xterra vehicles for failing to comply to the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 110, 'tire selection and rims for motor vehicles.' the tire placard lists an incorrect vehicle capacity weight.
Consequence:
This standard specifies requirements for tire selection to prevent overloading.
Correction:
Nissan will mail a correct tire placard and installation instructions to owners of the affected vehicles. the recall began on february 25, 2008. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Notes:
Nissan reall no. r0802.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.
Campaign:
08V690000 on 12/28/2008
Component:
Air bags:frontal
Manufactured:
05/31/2004 - 11/18/2008
Affected:
242,720
Defect:
Nissan is recalling 242,720 my 2005-2009 pathfinder, frontier and xterra vehicles originally sold in or currently registered in the states of connecticut, delaware, illinois, indiana, iowa, maine, maryland, massachusetts, michigan, minnesota, missouri, new hampshire, new jersey, new york, ohio, pennsylvania, rhode island, vermont, west virginia, wisconsin, and the district of columbia. in those areas of the country which use heavy concentrations of road salt in the winter, a mixture of snow/water and salt can enter into the front crash zone sensor (czs) housing. if this occurs, the czs may internally rust resulting in a signal interruption. if this happens, the red air bag warning light will illuminate to alert the vehicle operator.
Consequence:
This issue could result in the non-deployment of the driver and passenger front air bags in a crash, increasing the risk of personal injury.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the front czs with a redesigned sensor. the recall began on january 26, 2009. owners in the other states will receive extended warranty coverage for the sensor to 10 years. these owners will be notified of the warranty extension by mail and will receive a sticker to place in their warranty booklet explaining the extended warranty coverage. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Campaign:
10V075000 on 03/02/2010
Component:
Fuel system, gasoline:storage:auxillary tank
Manufactured:
10/23/2007 - 01/27/2008
Affected:
80,689
Defect:
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2006 and model year 2008 frontier, xterra and pathfinder vehicles. the molded fuel tank shells can deform, causing the fuel sender float arm to contact an embossment molded into the tank shell causing the instrument panel fuel gauge to show that the vehicle has approximately one quarter tank when the fuel tank is empty.
Consequence:
This could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall in traffic, increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the fuel level sending unit inside the fuel tank with a new one that has a modified float arm. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall is expected to begin on or before march 22, 2010. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
Notes:
Owners 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 <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .

Consequence:
If the collar weld separates, the vehicle handling will deteriorate, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
