Recall 07V-207: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On certain trucks equipped with bando belt tensioner, corrosion or rust may develop on the tensioner spindle or bushing causing the auto tensioner to become stiff or bind. This can cause the drive belt to suddenly come off, or the auto tensioner mounting bolts could suddenly break.
Risk: If the drive belt comes off, the alternator warning lamp will illuminate. If the warning is ignored, this condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (Engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the auto tensioner, install upgraded mounting bolts, and replace the accessory drive belt free of charge. The recall began on august 24, 2007. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 972-756-5523. Note: this recall will supersede nissan diesel's previous campaign (Please see 06v159).
Recall 06V-462: Power Train
Problem: Certain medium duty trucks equipped with the allison series 2500 automatic transmission do not have a park position available inside the automatic transmission. These vehicles may have been assembled with an automatic transmission shift lever control assembly indicating a park position is available for selection by the vehicle operator.
Risk: This may mislead the vehicle operator into placing the shift lever into the indicated park position and exiting the vehicle without applying the parking brake. This could cause unexpected or uncontrolled movement of the vehicle without prior warning which may result in vehicle crash.
Fix: Dealers will inspect and replace free of charge the shift assembly if it indicates the incorrect park position. The recall is expected to begin on or about january 26, 2007. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 972-756-5500.
Recall 06V-159: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On certain trucks equipped with bando belt tensioner, corrosion or rust may develop on the tensioner spindle or bushing causing the auto tensioner to become stiff or bind. This can cause the drive belt to suddenly come off, or the auto tensioner mounting bolts could suddenly break.
Risk: If the drive belt comes off, the alternator warning lamp will illuminate. If the warning is ignored, this condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (Engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.
Fix: Dealers will replace the auto tensioner, install upgraded mounting bolts, and replace the accessory drive belt free of charge. The recall began on june 23, 2006. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 972-756-5523. Note: this recall has been superseded by 07v207.
Recall 05V-341: Engine and Engine Cooling
Problem: On certain medium duty trucks, the exhaust pipe may break at the exhaust brake mounting flange.
Risk: The exhaust brake and muffler assembly could separate from the exhaust pipe and be discharged from under the vehicle in the event that the exhaust pipe cracks completely through while driving. This could occur without warning and potentially cause a crash or impede other vehicles on the highway.
Fix: Dealers will replace the exhaust pipe on the affected vehicles. The recall began on october 28, 2005. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 1-972-756-5500.
