Recall 05V-261: Electrical System

Reported Jun 2, 2005 · 2,744 vehicles affected · NISSAN DIESEL AMERICA, INC

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.

Risk: This could cause an electrical short, which could result in a fire.

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.

Latches/Locks/Linkages · reported Aug 31, 2003
During a test drive of the very new nissan 350 roadster (Convertible), I noticed a long bolt on the convertible frame that sits right above the drivers head. The same is true on the passengers side. I dont see how the side air bags would help. I love the car but that bolt concerned me. Have you looked into it and do you have any thoughts to share with me? Thanks nick moreno.
