NEWS:
Nissan is recalling 14,700 Nissan and
Infiniti vehicles; Engine oil leak
DECEMBER
2011
-- Nissan is recalling certain model year
2011 Infiniti FX, model year 2012 Infiniti
M, model year 2011-2012 Nissan frontier,
model year 2011-2012 Nissan Xterra, model
year 2011-2012 Nissan pathfinder, and model
year 2012 Nissan NV vehicles. Some of the
bolts that connect the engine oil cooler and
the engine oil filter to the engine in these
vehicles may have been manufactured to below
specification strength. As a result, the
bolt may break at the oil filter attachment
point and can cause an engine oil leak. If
there is an engine oil leak, the engine oil
pressure would drop and the engine could
seize, increasing the risk of a crash.
Nissan will notify owners, and dealers will
replace the connector bolts free of charge.
The safety recall is expected to begin on or
about January 19, 2012. 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 http://www.Safercar.Gov . 11V-592

OCTOBER 2009
-- Nissan is recalling
certain model year 2008-2010
vehicles originally sold in
or currently registered in
the states of Connecticut,
Delaware, Iowa, Illinois,
Indiana, Massachusetts,
Maine, Maryland, Michigan,
Minnesota, Missouri, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New
York, Ohio, Pennsylvania,
Rhode Island, Vermont,
Washington D.C., West
Virginia and Wisconsin. The
material in the nut used to
secure the
sensor-transmitter of the
tire pressure monitoring
system (TPMS) may corrode
and potentially crack in
areas with heavy
concentrations of road salt.
If this occurs, the nut may
come out of the
sensortransmitter and the
TPMS lamp will illuminate.
If the TPMS lamp is
disregarded and the vehicle
continues to be driven in
this condition, the tire
will quickly lose air
pressure at a consistent
rate resulting in a flat
tire increasing the risk of
a crash. The dealer will
replace the TPMS nut with a
new, more robust nut. This
service will be performed
free of charge. The recall
is expected to begin on or
before November 9, 2009.
