Recall 05V-319: 2003–2005 Nissan Murano
NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. recall for electrical system, reported to NHTSA on Jul 14, 2005, covering about 125,466 vehicles.
The problem
On certain sport utility vehicles, there is a possibility that a wire breaking inside the alternator could stop the battery from charging.
The risk
If this happens, the charger warning and brake warning lamps will immediately come on and the battery will begin to discharge. After a short time, the engine will go into a "fall safe" condition which will limit vehicle speed. The engine will stop running which could result in a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace the alternator with a new version which has been modified to prevent movement of the coil. The recall began on august 1, 2005. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
