CAMPAIGN ID#: | R1101 |
NHTSA#: | 11V-244 |
APPLIED VEHICLES: | 1996 - 2004 Pathfinder (R50) |
DETAILS:
Nissan is
conducting a voluntary safety recall campaign on certain model year 1996
- 2004 Pathfinder vehicles that are currently registered in States
where heavy concentrations of road salt are used in the winter.
In certain instances, the front driver's side strut housing
panel on the potentially affected vehicles can develop concentrated
corrosion that may cause weakening of the seams on the edge of the
housing and, over time, may lead to strut housing panel damage.
In extreme cases, this may cause portions of the strut housing
panel to come in contact with the steering column shaft if this
condition is ignored. The details of the remedy will be
announced at a later date. In the meantime, customers will be
notified of this issue and will have the option to have their
vehicle immediately
inspected.
