BALL JOINT MAY DISCONNECT
The front lower suspension/steering ball joint retaining ring may not have been manufactured to specification. This could in extreme circumstances result in the detachment of the ball joint from its housing. This can then cause loss of control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if required replace the lower link ball joint.

ENGINE MAY STALL
It has been identified that the accelerator pedal position sensor located in the accelerator pedal assembly may provide an incorrect signal due to sensor terminal wear. If this occurs the ECM will detect the sensor failure and illuminate the engine management waning lamp on the dash. It will also control and` limit vehicle acceleration. However in extreme case if this situation occurs and there is excessive dust in the throttle valve which could affect the amount of intake air then the engine could stall at idle speed.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the throttle pedal assembly.
HEATER FAN MOTOR MAY OVERHEAT
It is possible that the heater fan motor may seize at slow speed. Under extreme conditions this may cause the internal temperature of the heater fan circuit to increase. If this occurs the thermal fuse may not cut-out which will result in an overheating of the fan and its surrounding area. The driver will find smoke being exhaled via the heater vents and in extreme circumstances there could be a vehicle fire.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the heater motor thermal fuse with an up-rated item.
STEERING WHEEL FIXING BOLT MAY NOT BE TIGHTENED CORRECTLY
It is possible that the steering wheel mounting bolt may not have been torqued to the correct specification. In addition this torque setting may deteriorate over time as axial tension on the steering wheel boss can be affected by temperature change. The driver will receive warning of the issue by the excessive play/movement in the steering wheel. However should the driver neglect to take notice of this warning it is possible that the steering wheel could detach and affect direction control of the vehicle.
Recall all affected vehicle check the torque and if required re-torque the steering wheel bolt.
BRAKING PERFORMANCE MAY BE AFFECTED
The brake master cylinder piston/plunger outer surface is not to specification. This can result in an issue with the internal seals in the cylinder which can cause longer brake pedal travel under light braking. In extreme cases braking efficiency maybe affected.
Recall all affected vehicles and replace the brake master cylinder.
PASSENGER SIDE AIRBAG MAY FAIL TO DEPLOY CORRECTLY
The subject vehicles are equipped with front passenger airbag inflators which could have been assembled with improperly manufactured propellant wafers. Improperly manufactured propellant wafers could cause the inflator to rupture and the front passenger airbag to deploy abnormally in a crash. This could result in increased risk of injury to the occupant and the possibility of a fire.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to inspect and where necessary replace the airbag inflator module.

AIRBAG MAY RELEASE HIGH TEMPERATURE GASES
In the event that the driver airbag is deployed during a frontal impact small holes may occur on the surface of the airbag. The holes are caused by high temperature gases from the airbag inflator exhausting directly onto the surface of the airbag material. The high temperature gas/airbag material may contact the drivers skin. The deployment performance of the driver airbag is not affected.
To replace the driver airbag with new.
ENGINE INSULATION MAY REST ON TURBOCHARGER
The engine bay insulation for right hand drive vehicles equipped with 2.0 l diesel engine (M9R) engine may have insufficient clearance from the turbocharger. In extreme cases this may cause the insulation to smoulder due to the high temperature of the turbocharger.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to fit an additional bracket to position the engine bay insulation away from the turbocharger.
POSSIBLE LOSS OF STEERING
It is possible that the steering wheel boss may not have been produced to the correct specification. If a higher than normal loading is applied to the steering wheel in its normal operation it is possible that the steering wheel boss may separate from the steering column. This can result in a loss of steering control.
Recall all affected vehicles to check and if necessary replace the steering wheel assembly.

FUEL MAY LEAK
Nissan has identified that the fuel rail pressure sensor of some vehicles may have not been correctly tightened to the fuel rail of the engine and may loosen gradually due to heat and vibration of the engine. If left undetected and the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition in extreme cases fuel leakage may occur.
Re-tighten the pressure sensor and replace the pressure sensor gasket if required.
FUEL MAY LEAK
The fuel filter hose connector may not be fully connected to the fuel filter. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition a fuel leak may occur or in extreme conditions the engine may stall.
Recall all affected vehicles and inspect the fuel filter hose connector. If found to be faulty carry out remedial work.

DRIVER SEAT FAULT
The Drivers power seat harness may become trapped between the metal seat bracket and the seat lifter Mechanism. If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition damage to the harness may occur and this can result in loss of operation of the driver's power seat. In extreme circumstances unexpected self-operation of the driver's power seat base may occur.
Inspection of the driver's power seat harness for correct installation rectify if necessary. If the harness is damaged it will be replaced with new.

ENGINE MAY STALL
The Turbocharger boost sensor bracket may separate from the air inlet tube. This means the boost pressure may be measured incorrectly and the engine warning lamp may be illuminated. During low-speed driving this could cause the engine to stall and not restart
Inspect and if necessary replace the air inlet tube with a new one
POWER STEERING ASSISTANCE MAY FAIL
It has been established that the casting for the heat sink on the Electric Power Steering (EPS) control unit may be out of specification. In extreme cases this can cause a failure of the EPS motor which will illuminate a warning light on the dash. Whilst directional control is not affected it is possible that the driver will experience a sudden loss of power assistance.
Recall all affect vehicles and replace the EPS control unit.

Recall all affect vehicles and replace the EPS control unit.
POSSIBLE WHEEL DETACHMENT
In certain rare conditions where the vehicle is used fully loaded and cornering with high lateral acceleration a crack may occur on the spoke of the aluminium wheel. If this condition is ignored and the vehicle continues to be driven the crack may propagate around other wheel spokes. This condition is expected to create a change in the vehicle handling and in extreme cases could lead to wheel detachment.
Recall the vehicles that are likely to be affected to replace the wheels.
