Date: 28.02.1994
Component: Vehicle Speed Control
Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.
Description:
Engine movement can be transmitted to the airflow meter/filter housing and support bracket, which is mounted in the engine air duct, causing the throttle cable housing to pull out of the cable guide. this may prevent the throttle from returning to the idle position when the gas pedal is released.
Consequencs:
If this were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, loss of throttle control could result in an accident.
Notes:
Nissan will reposition the throttle cable housing in the support bracket to provide additional slack for engine movement. a rubber stopper will be clamped to the cable to maintain the correct position for the cable at the support bracket. in addition, the throttle cable will be tested for pull out resistance from the guide in the event the cable was damaged. the throttle assembly will be replaced, if necessary.

Component: Power Train > Automatic Transmission > Gear Position Indication (prndl)
Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.
Description:
The shift lever lock plate, which prevents the shift lever from being inadvertently moved from park to drive or neutral position, can be broken by the transmission shift position pin.
Consequencs:
Inadvertent movement of the transmission shift lever without operator action can cause vehicle movement which can result in a vehicle accident.
Notes:
Dealers will install a bracket to prevent the shift position pin from breaking the shift lever lock plate.

Component: Service Brakes, Hydraulic > Foundation Components > Hoses, Lines/piping, And Fittings
Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.
Description:
Certain of the brake hoses for the right rear wheel were routed incorrectly so that contact is made with a suspension component. this causes abrasion to the hose and eventual leakage.
Consequencs:
A leaking brake hose reduces braking capability, increases stopping distances and increases the risk of an accident.
Notes:
The right rear brake hose will be inspected to determine if it is routed correctly. misrouted hoses will be inspected for damage, replaced if necessary, and correctly routed.
