Electrical System › 12v/24v/48v Battery › Cables05V262000
Filed Jun 2, 20053,857 vehiclesNissan Diesel America, Inc
Defect. ON CERTAIN LIGHT DUTY TRUCKS, THE BATTERY CABLE MAY HAVE BEEN ROUTED INCORRECTLY DURING VEHICLE MANUFACTURING THAT COULD ALLOW THE BATTERY CABLE TO CONTACT THE EDGE OF THE REAR TRANSMISSION MOUNTING BRACKET. DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION THE BATTERY CABLE CORRUGATED PROTECTIVE CONDUIT COULD BECOME WORN AWAY AND ALLOW SHORTING OF THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE TO THE FRAME.
Risk. THIS COULD CAUSE AN ELECTRICAL SHORT, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A FIRE.
Remedy. FOR MY 1999-2000 MODELS, DEALERS WILL INSPECT AND REROUTE THE CABLE CORRECTLY TO THE SMOOTH SIDE OF THE REAR TRANSMISSION MOUNTING BRACKET AND SECURE IT TO THE CHASSIS WIRING HARNESS AS DESIGNED OR WILL HAVE THE POSITIVE BATTERY CABLE REPLACED. FOR MY 2001-2002, DEALERS WILL SECURE THE BATTERY CABLE TO THE ADJACENT CHASSIS WIRING HARNESS WITH A PLASTIC TIE STRAP TO PREVENT EXCESSIVE MOVEMENT OF THE CABLE OR IF THE CORRUGATED PROTECTIVE CONDUIT WORN THROUGH NEAR THE REAR TRANSMISSION MOUNTING BRACKET OR THE THIRD FRAME CROSS MEMBER SUPPORT WILL BE REPLACED. THE RECALL BEGAN ON ON SEPTEMBER 19, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN DIESEL AT 972-756-5500.

No unusual pattern of severe incidents in the complaint record.
Complaint counts track how many cars were sold and how long they have been on the road as much as they track quality. A common model from 2013 has had a decade to accumulate reports; a rare one from last year has not. The signal worth weighing is in the severity columns, in whether the same component keeps appearing, and in whether the manufacturer eventually opened a recall for it.
Recall repairs are free for as long as the recall stands. Check whether a specific car still has open work at NHTSA's VIN lookup.
