Component: Engine And Engine Cooling
Manufacturer: Nissan North America, Inc.
Description:
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 armada, titan, infiniti qx56 and model year 2005-2006 frontier, pathfinder and xterra vehicles. the intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) assembly contains an engine control module (ecm) relay that has a diode for electrical current noise reduction. the ecm relay may allow silicon vapor to form and, over time, the silicon evaporates from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide to develop on the ecm relay contact due to arcing.
Consequencs:
This could cause engine stalling increasing the risk of a crash.
Notes:
Dealers will replace the ecm relay inside the ipdm assembly. this service will be performed free of charge. the safety recall began on december 6, 2010. owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Description:
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.
Consequencs:
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.
