Recall 12V-068: 2012 Nissan Murano, 2012 Nissan Rogue
NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. recall for tires, reported to NHTSA on Feb 22, 2012, covering about 2,983 vehicles.
The problem
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2012 murano and rogue vehicles, manufactured from november 23, 2011 through january 11, 2012. During assembly, the tire pressure monitoring system (Tpms) was not activated. Thus, these vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of federal motor vehicle safety standard no. 138,âtire pressure monitoring system.â
The risk
A non-active TPMS cannot warn a driver that a tire is underinflated. Underinflated tires can result in tire overloading and overheating, which could lead to a blowout and possible crash.
The fix
All of the affected vehicles are still in dealer inventory. Dealers have been instructed to activate all of the tire pressure monitoring systems.
