NISSAN DIESEL AMERICA, INC recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Jun 2, 2005, covering about 2,744 vehicles.
The problem
Certain light duty trucks may have had the outer corrugated protective conduit for the battery cable worn through at the rear transmission mounting bracket and the battery cable may rub against the edge of the third frame cross member support and allow the battery cable to short against the frame.
The risk
This could cause an electrical short, which could result in a fire.
The fix
Dealers will replace the battery cable with a redesigned cable that will prevent movement of the cable inside the corrugated protective conduit and a protective edge guard will be installed on the lower edge of the third chassis frame across member support. The recall began on september 19, 2005. Owners may contact nissan diesel america at 972-756-5500.
