Canadian Nissan Truck Club

Not sure if it's for Canada, but a buddy from the states just saw this on the news and let me know. It doesn't affect me, but I'm sure you guys would like to know.

Vehicle Make/Models Effected
Nissan Frontier
Nissan Pathfinder
Nissan Xterra

Vehicle Years
2005-2009

Summary
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.

Consequences
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.

Remedy
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FRONT CZS WITH A REDESIGNED SENSOR. THE MANUFACTURER HAS NOT YET PROVIDED AN OWNER NOTIFICATION SCHEDULE FOR THIS CAMPAIGN. 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.

Thanks for the Post.

My Girlfriend's Pathy was originally a US Vehicle, imported and bought from a dealer up here.

Nothing about this in Canada as of today, I'll let you guys know if it comes here.

Recall has arrived!

05-09 Pathfinder
05-09 Xterra
05-09 Frontier

If anyone wants to email me your VIN# I can check if your vehicle is affected.

I've stickied this thread. Thanks for the info guys!!

There not that bad to do. Some of the vehicles need a little bit of heat to persuade the bolts. All in all we are getting quite bit of these recalls for the trucks everyday. You got to love road salt.

PM sent Mike - thanks for checking!

PM'd ...thx!

Are the first-gen frontiers, X's and pathies designed/protected differently to not be affected? I should take a look at the sensor and see if it's in rough shape.

Same questions for the the 04-09 Armada and Titan?

Good thing my wd21 doesn't have air bags...

I had a problem this spring w/my air bag light staying lit. I called up Nissan USA to see if it was covered under warranty and they told me about the recall. I got that scheduled later in the week and it did solve the airbag light.
