• Desiccated air bag inflator rupture investigation as of 20210917

  From 2000 through 2017, takata produced millions of air bag inflators using two types of phase-stabilized ammonium nitrate ("psan") propellant -- propellant 2004 and propellant 2004l. After prolonged exposure to high temperature cycles and humidity, inflators using propellant 2004 can degrade, causing the propellant to burn too quickly when ignited. The rapid burning can cause the inflator to rupture during deployment, potentially causing serious or even fatal injury to vehicle occupants. See 2016 blomquist report at www.Nhtsa.Gov/sites/nhtsa.Gov/files/documents/expert_report-hrblomquist.Pdf.Consequently, all frontal inflators using propellant 2004 that do not contain a "desiccant" (a substance that traps and holds moisture) in us vehicles are under recall. These "non-desiccated" inflators either have been or are required to be replaced.In some cases, the remedy part for these recalled inflators was, or will be, an inflator using either propellant 2004 or 2004l that does contain a desiccant. None of these "desiccated" remedy parts (which were installed in older model year vehicles) are currently under recall for a degradation concern. Certain subsets of desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004 for use as original equipment, however, have been recalled for a degradation concern. All takata inflators produced with propellant 2004l contain desiccant, and none of these desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l are under recall for a degradation concern. There have been no reported field ruptures in any non-recalled desiccated psan inflators.It is understood that desiccants fully saturate at some threshold, at which point any additional moisture will not be captured. This means the degradation process observed in non-desiccated inflators using propellant 2004 may also occur in non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004, assuming additional moisture enters the inflator and high temperature cycling occurs. Based on available information, desiccant saturation can occur within the first five years in the worst environments, and the time required for full saturation is affected by multiple factors. While no present safety risk has been identified, further work is needed to evaluate the future risk of non-recalled desiccated inflators using propellant 2004.Three entities -- takata (now known as tk global), the independent testing coalition, and exponent -- have been studying the long-term behavior of takata desiccated psan inflators using propellant 2004l (as well as 2004) in the presence of moisture and temperature cycling. The research efforts, which include development of predictive modeling techniques and field sample analysis, are ongoing. To date, none of the researchers have identified field evidence showing that propellant 2004l is undergoing a degradation process that leads to aggressive deployment and potential rupture. However, the time in service of such inflators remains short compared to that of the inflators using propellant 2004. Further study is needed to assess the long-term safety of desiccated inflators using propellant 2004l.The office of defects investigation is opening this investigation to examine whether a safety defect related to propellant degradation exists in non-recalled desiccated psan frontal inflators manufactured by takata. This investigation will require extensive information on takata production processes and surveys of inflators in the field. Lists of recall actions that may have used desiccated psan inflators as remedy parts, as well as the makes and models originally manufactured with them, is available with the downloadable version of this document (see nhtsa.Gov/recalls?Nhtsaid=ea21002 -- note this information is subject to change/revision as the investigation proceeds). This investigation does not supersede ea15-001, which remains open.

The clutch slave cylinder failed which results in not being able to put the car in gear once you have stopped and placed the car in neutral. This failure happened at an intersection and caused me to not be able to proceed. One car almost slammed into me. Nissan has known about this inferior plastic part since 2009 and has not changed anything.

The clutch slave cylinder failed on our 370z as the vehicle was driving on the highway and county roads. The clutch pedal would not return all the way back up thus causing the transmission to be stuck in the gear it was in, and be less in control of the vehicle. After doing more research since, this is a known problem with the nissan 370z due to the poor design of using a plastic constructed slave cylinder that is mounted in the transmission bell housing. This is something that nissan should have recalled by this point!

Was driving down the highway when i went to shift into another gear. The pedal felt "light", meaning it had less resistance in the first half of the stroke. In the remaining half of the stroke the clutch disengaged enough to shift gears. When releasing the clutch pedal, it remained stuck to the floor and i had to flip it to its released position with my foot. This behavior continued until i had the car towed to a service center

Had no pressure in clutch about a year ago while driving on the highway and kept getting stuck after releasing it. Had the clutch and flywheel replaced, problem went away for a while. But it's been less than a year, and i am having the same problem again. I was driving on the freeway in stop and go traffic, and the clutch suddenly had no pressure halfway again. Now the problem might be the clutch master cylinder or clutch slave cylinder. It happened suddenly on the freeway with no indication of warning. I still have stock power terrain parts. I have seen many people on 370z forum with the same exact problem.

Clutch pedal to the floorboard no pressure can't drive car csc failure inside transmission

Car has 17,751 miles on it. Bought 30 days ago from acura dealer in fort worth. Went to pull out of garage, and the clutch pedal is stuck to the floor. Getting it diagnosed at nissan dealer, but it's believed to be a slave cylinder that is a known malfunction by nissan, and they will not recall it or cover it under power-train warranty.

***nissan 2013 370z (mt) clutch slave cylinder *** purchase brand new. In march of 2013, just 2k miles the slave cylinder failed. Replaced under warranty. On 6/17/2016, i was driving on the freeway, my clutch failed during traffic hours on the 60 east fwy. I could not shift the gear to get to lower or higher gear. Thank god i was able to get on the shoulder lane to stop safely. This happened at 3,100 miles. Yes, just after my factory warranty had just expired. Csc is not covered under powertrain warranty but nissan has agreed to fully pay for the second replacement. This is clearly a safety issue and can cause bodily harm when driving and clutch fails. Also i belong to a nissan social community forums and there are many have had the same issue. This should be a recall. Be safe out there. *tr

Last saturday, took the cover off and was going to the car wash to shine her up real good. On the way after stopping at a light i pulled off then went to 2nd gear, then to third and that when it happened. The clutch went to the floor and did not come back up. I'm going down the street not knowing what to do next because there is a stop sign but i'm afraid to stop because i don't know what will happen, a very dangerous situation. Fortunately there were no other cars at the stop sign so i turned on my emergency flashers and continued through, i'm sure the people behind me thought i was crazy and i'm very happy there were no police around. I made a left on the emptiest street i could find and pulled over and called my son to pick me up and help me push the car out of the street. Now mind you i never raced or drove the car hard at all and within the 10 or so months i've owed it only put 5000 miles on it. It's hard for me to believe that nissan would put such a dangerous car, let alone a sports car on the road, i just kept thinking what if i was on the highway, and i could have been killed! I had to have the car towed to nissan of mckinney were they add insult to injury telling me my z with only 18000 miles on it was out of warranty and it would cost me over $1000 to repair. Of course i did some research on www.The370z.Com and other websites, found out this is a common issue with the manual transmission which aftermarket parts can fix but nissan refuses to, are you guys waiting on someone to be killed before you take action, this is a very serious issue and customers should be made aware and certainly shouldn't have to pay over $1000 to repair it with only 18000 miles!

The clear coat on the paint it's pealing off chipping off really fast i believe i'm not the only one having this same issue with the clear coat paint that the nissan 370z 2013 have.

Tl* the contact owns a 2013 nissan 370z. The contact experienced issues starting the vehicle while depressing the engine start button. A warning indicator illuminated on the key, which meant an intelligent key system or electrical steering lock system malfunction per the owner's manual. The failure occurred on more than one occasion. The vehicle was not diagnosed or repaired. The manufacturer was not made aware of the issue. The failure mileage and vin were unknown. *tr

Clutch slave cylinder: i was stopped for a traffic light in the center lane on a heavily traveled road. When the signal changed, i depressed the clutch to put my car in gear, i was unable to put in gear - the clutch petal stuck to the floor and would not return to the resting position - fluid was leaking on the road. Unable to move my vehicle to a safe location, i turned on emergency flashers and called for help. The 911 operator said get out of the car and stand on the side of the road they dispatched an officer and tow truck. The officer pushed my car to the right lane, blocked traffic with his vehicle to prevent an accident and waited until my car was on the tow truck.

Hi, i've been having issues with my 2013 370z clutch, i am assuming it is the clutch slave cylinder. When the car is hot the clutch pedal will stick to the floor or not have any return pressure when pushing the clutch in. I feel this is going to become and issue and could be a safety concern on a road at speeds.

This is my husbands car so i do not drive it regularly and i do not drive it like a race car. The car was in our garage all day until i left so nothing was overheated. I had driven about 5 miles at less than 50 mph along an access road, stopping for 3 red lights. I thought it was clutching oddly, but since i hadn't driven it much, i thought it was me. At the 4th red light the clutch went soft when i pressed it and only came back up half way but i was able to get moving, the clutch pedal rising less with each shift. My destination was just after the light and as i turned left across the traffic i lost the clutch completely as i went into 2nd gear. This left me coasting in neutral across two lanes of oncoming traffic and a dip and curve entrance that required a more momentum than i had. 1st and 2nd would not engage and i was able to grind it into 3rd and clear the lanes. I coasted into a parking spot and the clutch was completely depressed to the floor and i could smell it burning. After my appointment, i used my foot to pull the clutch back up and it actually worked. I drove directly to the dealership, pulling the clutch back up each time and oddly enough, by the time i arrived the clutch was functioning again. They were unable to reproduce the problem, however they said there was a bulletin addressing the 'very rare' issue, something to do with the boiling point of the factory installed hydraulic fluid. They flushed the system and put in a different oil. I have only had the car back for a day but to me the clutch still feels a little soft. I am documenting this in case it happens again and because this dangerous situation could have been avoided if the manufacturer would have voluntarily replaced the fluid, if that is really what caused this issue . *tr

I have a 2013 370z with a manual transmission. On 4-9-2014 i was traveling 45 mph on expressway. I began slowing for light and downshifting from 6th gear to 5th and 4th. When i shifted into 4th gear the clutch pedal did not return to it's normal position and stayed about 1/2 way down towards the floor of the vehicle. I then shifted into 3rd gear and the clutch pedal went completely to the floor and remained fully depressed and did not return to it's upright position. I had no clutch function at this point. I muscled the car into neutral to avoid stalling the engine and came to a stop at the red light. I was unable to place the car in gear when the light turned green. I ground the gears and got the vehicle into 2nd gear, got off the expressway and into a nearby parking lot. I called a tow and had the vehicle towed to the nearest nissan dealership. I was informed that the hydraulically actuated clutch fluid had overheated and failed causing the hydraulic actuation of the clutch to fail. The dealership flushed the hydraulic system and replaced the hydraulic fluid with higher temperature fluid from a gtr per nissan service bulletin ntb13-026a. The vehicle seems to be operating properly at this point but i was very concerned and could have easily been involved in a accident as i was sitting at a green light on an expressway with a disabled vehicle. Nissan is obviously aware that standard duty hydraulic fluid in 370z's can overheat and fail as noted in their service bulletin. I feel that hydraulically actuated manual transmission 370z's should be filled with high temperature hydraulic fluid from the factory. *tr

The air bag disabled light is on when my wife sits in the passenger seat. She weighs 120lbs and is 5' 8" tall. I have taken the car to nissan several times and they say the sensor is working to spec.
