    A NON-DESSICATED PASSENGER AIRBAG INFLATOR WAS USED DURING PREVIOUS RECALL TO REPLACE THIS COMPONENT

    Defect

    In 2013 Nissan announced a Recall campaign to replace Takata SPI front passenger airbag inflators. A non-dessicated passenger airbag inflator was used for the replacement. Although there have been no known incidents associated with inflators of this type Nissan has decided to replace all inflators previously repaired with a non-dessicated inflator to a new dessicated version.

    Remedy

    Replace the front passenger airbag inflator with a new dessicated type.

    DRIVER'S AIRBAG GAS GENERATOR HOUSING FAILURE DURING DEPLOYMENT

    Defect

    On affected vehicles it has been determined that drivers airbags with potentially faulty gas generator housing material may have been installed in vehicles of model series 156 176 246 205 238 & 253. If the material of the gas generator housing fails during airbag deployment in the event of a crash the airbag system would possibly no longer have a restraint effect. In addition separating parts could enter the passenger compartment. This could lead to an increased risk of injury.

    Remedy

    On affected vehicles replace the driver�s airbag

    LASER WELDING BETWEEN BACKREST RAIL AND BACKREST METAL FITTING OF FRONT SEATS MAY NOT MEET SPECIFICATION

    Defect

    It has been determined that on certain C-Class (205) and E-Class (213) Cars with AMG performance seats the laser welding between the backrest rail and the backrest metal fitting of the driver or passenger seat might not meet the specification. The laser welding between the backrest member and the backrest metal fitting may not withstand the required load values. As a result the fitting may detach from the backrest member. In the case of an accident this could result in a higher occupant load. Due to the delivery scenario the fault can only occur on one side of the seat.

    Remedy

    As a precautionary measure recall the affected vehicles and check the backrest member and replace if necessary

    ROTATING FRONT SEAT WIRE FIXINGS CAN LOOSEN

    Defect

    It has been determined that on Vito models with rotating front seats (SA codes SB5/SB6) the front seats can loosen the wire fixings under the seats when being rotated. Should the wiring harness be damaged in the worst-case scenario this could lead to deactivation of the thorax bag or to unintentional triggering of the thorax bag in the case of a short circuit caused in the process. A disarmed thorax bag is indicated via the SRS indicator lamp. The reason for this is the technical concept which allows for flexible cable harness installation depending on the seat mounting.

    Remedy

    Since the beginning of June 2017 the series has protected the wiring from jamming and damage by using an optimized mounting clip. We will recall and bring the installation of the cables under the swivel seats on the affected vehicles up to the optimized current series status.

    PISTONS IN REAR BRAKE CALIPERS MAY NOT BE COATED TO SPECIFICATIONS

    Defect

    The fault affects the brake system in particular the brake calipers on the rear axle. Because of a faulty coating hydrogen gas (approximately 10 ml) could be created in the coating of the piston of the brake caliper. This will be completely outgassed during the first 2 months after the production process causing longer brake pedal travel. Under certain circumstances the relevant brake pressure cannot be build up in the rear brake circuit. As a result the brake force of the system may be reduced by up to 30%. The driver may feel a soft brake pedal and a reduction of the brake performance. In certain cases the rear brake circuit could fail leading to increased risk of an accident.

    Remedy

    On the affected vehicles the brake system will be bled.

    DISTANCE BETWEEN SENSOR AND IN-TANK FUEL LINE COULD BE TOO SMALL

    Defect

    The fault affects the fuel level sensor within the fuel tank.The distance between the sensor and an in-tank fuel line could be too small which could allow the sensor to contact the fuel line and in some cases become stuck. If the fuel sensor becomes stuck the fuel gauge in the instrument cluster displays a larger amount of fuel than is actually in the tank. Therefore the tank could become empty leading to the engine stalling without prior warning.

    Remedy

    On the affected vehicles the fuel line supply unit system will be reworked.

    Oil plug incorrectly tightened

    Defect

    There is a possibility that an oil plug located on the side of the engine may not be properly tightened. An engine oil leak could occur that could lead to a certain amount of oil hitting the ground.

    Remedy

    The remedy involves tightening the engine oil plug to the correct torque.

    Incorrect engine oil software

    Defect

    Subject vehicles are equipped with incorrect engine oil software leading to the oil temperature not being detected over a certain threshold. This could lead to the oil pan deformimg due to high engine oil temperatures which in turn could lead to oil loss onto the road surface.

    Remedy

    The remedy involves reprogramming the engine ECU which will give the driver a timely warning regarding possible high oil temperature.
