2005 NISSAN XTERRA Recalls (6)

Campaign:
05E062000 on 09/29/2005
Component:
Trailer hitches
Affected:
498
Defect:
Certain valley industries hitch-class iii receiver trailer hitches p/n 82850 manufactured between march and september 2005 sold for use as replacement equipment for 2005 nissan xterra passenger vehicles. due to insufficient weld strength, under certain circumstances, the hitches may break while in use.
Consequence:
The trailer or item in tow may release partially or wholly from the motor vehicle, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Valley industries will notify its customers and replace the trailer hitches free of charge. the recall began on november 3, 2005. owners may contact valley industries at 209-368-8881.
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:
05V458000 on 10/05/2005
Component:
Trailer hitches
Manufactured:
01/05/2005 - 09/13/2005
Affected:
12,500
Defect:
On certain sport utility vehicles equipped with a nissan accessory tow hitch, inadequate quality of some welded joints in the hitch assembly may result in separation of the hitch from the vehicle when being used to tow.
Consequence:
This could result in the trailer separating from the vehicle and cause a crash without warning.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the tow hitches. on october 17, 2005, owners were sent an interim letter advising them not to use the tow hitch until it can be repaired. another letter was sent out on november 21, 2005, notifying them to bring their vehicles in for repair. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Campaign:
07E046000 on 07/05/2007
Component:
Equipment
Affected:
3,500
Defect:
Certain hopkins aftermarket trailer brake control connection harnesses sold for use on certain models of nissan vehicles which are listed above. the internal part numbers within hopkins are: 1010476025, 1040376025, 1110476025, 1170376025, 1290376025, 1010476035, 1040376035, 1110476035, 1170376035, and 1290376035. a wire may have been placed in an incorrect position in the electrical connector housing. this results in an incorrect routing of wires between the trailer brake controller and the towing vehicle wiring system.
Consequence:
This harness would result in power from the trailer brake controller going to the towing vehicle dash light circuit rather than the trailer brakes. this result would be the lack of trailer braking when the towing vehicle brakes were applied. it would also result in the towing vehicles dash lights being activated when the vehicle brakes were applied. the failure of the application of the trailer brake could result in reduced ability to stop and contribute to a possible crash.
Correction:
Hopkins will notify owners and replace the original harness with a revised harness free of charge. the recall began august 17, 2007. owners can contact hopkins at 800-835-0129.
Notes:
This recall only pertains to aftermarket harnesses and has no relation to any original equipment installed on vehicles manufactured by nissan.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:
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.
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 <a href=http://www.safercar.gov>http://www.safercar.gov</a> .
Campaign:
10E019000 on 05/20/2010
Component:
Suspension:front:control arm:lower arm
Affected:
1,873
Defect:
Nissan is recalling certain front and rear lower links, p/nos. 54501zq00a, 54500zq00a, 551a1zq00a, 551a0zq00a , 54501ea00a, 54500ea00a, 551a1ea500, 551a0ea500, 54501zr00a, and 54500zr00a, sold between november 25, 2009 and may 14, 2010 as replacement parts for model year 2004 through 2010 titan, armada, and qx56, and model years 2005 through 2010 frontier, xterra, and pathfinder vehicles. the lower control link assembly has two cylindrical collars forming the inboard attachment points to the chassis. due to an improper welding process some collars may contain welds that do not meet strength specifications.
Consequence:
If the collar weld separates, the vehicle handling will deteriorate, possibly resulting in a vehicle crash.
Correction:
Nissan will notify owners and dealers will replace any affected lower link free of charge. the safety recall began on july 12, 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> .
Campaign:
10V517000 on 10/27/2010
Component:
Engine and engine cooling
Manufactured:
10/18/2004 - 06/15/2006
Affected:
747,480
Defect:
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 armada, titan, infiniti qx56 and model year 2005-2006 frontier, pathfinder and xterra vehicles. the intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) assembly contains an engine control module (ecm) relay that has a diode for electrical current noise reduction. the ecm relay may allow silicon vapor to form and, over time, the silicon evaporates from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide to develop on the ecm relay contact due to arcing.
Consequence:
This could cause engine stalling increasing the risk of a crash.
Correction:
Dealers will replace the ecm relay inside the ipdm assembly. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on december 6, 2010. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
