• Recall 2008363 [Canada]: Other
  On certain vehicles, a varistor in the occupant classification system (ocs) control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been manufactured incorrectly. Under certain conditions, this could cause an interruption of signal between the ocs and the airbag control unit (acu). This could result in the passenger airbag being suppressed. The (red) supplemental airbag warning light would flash & the (amber) front passenger airbag status light would illuminate to alert the vehicle operator, however in case of a crash a suppressed airbag could result in personal injury or death. Correction: dealers will test the signal between the ocs & acu and if necessary will replace the seat cushion containing ocs hardware.

• Pedestrian alert sounds investigation # DP22005

  Nhtsa received a petition on or about july 18, 2022, requesting that federal motor vehicle safety standard (fmvss) 141 be applied to all electric and hybrid vehicles operating in the united states. The petition can be reviewed at nhtsa.Gov under odi number 11486072.Fmvss 141 establishes performance requirements for pedestrian alert sounds for motor vehicles. The standard applies to hybrid and electric vehicles that have a gross vehicle weight rating of 4,536 kg or less or are defined as low-speed vehicles. The standard became fully applicable to all such vehicles manufactured on or after march 1, 2021.The petitioner asserts that hybrid and electric vehicles to which the standard does not apply should be found to contain a safety defect. In support of the petition, the petitioner includes findings contained in a bill introduced in the house of representatives in 2009, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2009, h.R. 734, 111th cong. (2009). A related bill, the pedestrian safety enhancement act of 2010, became law in january 2011 (pub. L. 111-373). The petitioner requests that nhtsa require all electric and hybrid vehicles comply with fmvss 141, regardless of production date.The defect petition has been opened to evaluate the issue and determine whether to grant or deny the petition.The associated product list is not exhaustive and may contain vehicles that are equipped with pedestrian alert sounds.

• Brake master cylinder internal leak investigation # PE11020

  The office of defects investigation (odi) opened pe11-020 to investigate possible brake performance loss due to brake fluid leaking from the master cylinder into the brake booster in the subject vehicles.A total of 237 complaints were identified by odi and nissan.The majority of complaints and warranty claims reported that brake malfunction indicator lamp (mil) illumination as the only symptom of a problem.Only 12 complaints alleged any effect on brake performance and in each of these the drivers were able to stop the vehicles without incident.No crash claims could be attributed to the alleged defect. Returned part analysis data provided by nissan showed that most of the master cylinders replaced under warranty did not have a leak condition.These replacements may have resulted from brake mil illumination due to pad wear.For most of the warranty claims, in a few cases where a master cylinder leak was found, nissans testing showed that the leaks were extremely slow and would require thousands of miles or months of driving before brake performance could be affected.After an extensive study of replaced master cylinders for a presumed leak, nissan was unable to identify any concern with the parts or design of the subject components that could affect brake performance. Nevertheless, nissan does recognize a concern with premature brake mil illumination and has decided to address this problem by conducting a voluntary service campaign covering approximately 1.17 million model year 2007 through 2012 altima vehicles (up to june 25, 2011 production, the date of nissans running change for the longer life brake pad).Nissans owner letter for the service campaign states, "as your brake pads wear over time, the brake fluid level in the master cylinder reservoir will drop and may cause the brake warning lamp to illuminate.”although this is a normal condition, there has been concern that the brake warning light illumination may be caused by a slow fluid leak over time."nissans service campaign will inspect the brake pads and test the master cylinder for leakage.If leakage is detected, nissan will replace the master cylinder at no charge.If excessive pad wear is observed, customers will be notified and will be responsible for repairs.For more details concerning nissans service campaign, see the pe11-020 file on www.Safercar.Gov. Based on the low failure rate for confirmed master cylinder leakage in the subject vehicles and the low probability that the condition would affect brake performance, this investigation is closed.

• Engine compartment fire investigation # PE07026

  Nissan notified the agency on june 18, 2007 that it will recall (recall # 07v267) all my 2007 altima vehicles with 2.5 liter engine built at the smyrna, tennessee plant from september 25, 2006 to may 11, 2007 and at the canton, mississippi plant from october 30, 2006 to may 11, 2007.Nissan determined that if a sufficiently hot object (for example, a cigarette ash or other ignition source) enters the air filter housing through the engine fresh air intake system and contacts the air filter, the flammability characteristics of the air filter material are such that the filter may ignite.If the air filter ignites, a fire may occur.Vehicles built after these dates are equipped with a different air filter.Nissan will remove the original air filter and install a new unit with improved anti-flammability characteristics.Odi is aware of 26 reports of fire (of which three were reported directly to both odi and nissan) and no injuries.This investigation is closed.

The owners and or sellers of this dangerous and life threatening vehicle that was sold to me knowing that the car was in extremely bad condition. These criminals sold me the vehicle knowing that it was not smog cleared or approved. They sold me a fatal accident waiting to o happen! They intentionally modified the odometer/mileage to 85k/95k... But when i ran a check on car fax, it clearly showed that this vehicle was 206,851 miles of wear and tear to engine. The break system almost killed me on the freeway and made me lose control and forcefully made me spin out of driving control for 3 full spins in the middle of the freeway, bu the grace of god, i missed all incoming traffic.
