The problem

On certain minivans equipped with a power sliding door(S), at an ambient temperature below approximately 40 degrees fahrenheit, the actuator for the power sliding door(S) may experience binding due to an out-of-specification condition. In order to open, close or reverse a power sliding door, the shift selector lever must be in "park." if the actuator is experiencing binding and the driver shifts the vehicle out of "park" while a power sliding door is still closing, the door latches may not engage.

The risk

This can result in the door coming open unexpectedly upon rapid acceleration, and an occupant could fall out of the door and be injured.

The fix

Dealers will replace the actuator for the power sliding door(S). Owner notification began on june 23, 2004. Owners should contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
