AFTER SEVERAL MONTHS & DELAYS TO CORRECT THE CORROSION PROBLEM DESCRIBED IN NTB96-034, NISSAN NORTH AMERICA FINALLY AGREED TO CORRECT & REPAIR THE LEFT SIDE WHEEL HOUSING AND COMPONENT LISTED IN THE RECALL. ALTHOUGH, THE CORROSION IS ALSO APPEARRING IN ADVANCES STAGES ON THE RIGHT SIDE OF THE VEHICLE IN THE SAME AREA ON THE OPPOSITE SIDE. THE CORROSION HAS ADVANCED TO THE POINT THAT THERE ARE HOLES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE VEHICLE NOT ONLY ON THE LEFT SIDE, BUT ALSO THE RIGHT SIDE. THE SEAT BELT ANCHOR ON BOTH SIDES ARE ATTACHED DIRECTLY TO THE AREA OF ADVANCED CORROSION. IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH THE SEAT BELT ANCHOR(S) MOST LIKELY WOULD TEAR-OUT FROM THE CORRODED AREA AND PASSENGERS ON EITHER SIDE OF THE VEHICLE MAY BE INJURED / KILLED. THE CORROSION DAMAGE IS IDENTICAL TO THE CORROSION PROBLEM DETAILED IN NISSAN'S CAMPAIGN ID NO. 95V-244, OR NTB96-034 & NTB96-034A.

IT IS POSSIBLE FOR A MIXTURE OF MUD AND SALT TO GET TRAPPED BETWEEN THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND WHEEL HOUSING. THE TRAPPED MUD AND SALT CAN RESULT IN CORROSION OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE AND THE WHEEL HOUSING.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: SIGNIFICANT CORROSION OF THE FUEL FILLER TUBE MAY RESULT IN FUEL LEAKS WHICH IN THE PRESENCE OF AN IGNITION SOURCE COULD RESULT IN A FIRE. IN ADDITION, THE LEFT REAR SEAT BELT RETRACTOR IS MOUNTED TO THE WHEEL HOUSING AND IN THE EVENT OF SIGNIFICANT CORROSION, AND THE MOUNTING COULD FAIL IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THESE VEHICLES AND CORRECTIVE ACTION WILL BE TAKEN DEPENDING UPON THE EXTENT OF THE CORROSION.
IN SOME UNDERBODY IMPACTS THE AIRBAG SENSOR ACTIVATES AND SENDS A SIGNAL TO THE AIRBAG, LOCATED IN THE CENTER OF THE STEERING WHEEL, CAUSING THE DRIVER'S SIDE AIRBAG TO INFLATE.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: AIRBAG INFLATION MAY OCCUR WHEN IT IS NOT NEEDED TO PROTECT THE DRIVER AND MAY RESULT IN MINOR INJURIES TO THE DRIVER FROM THE INFLATING AIRBAG.
Remedy: A TUNNEL SENSOR OF DIFFERENT DESIGN WILL BE INSTALLED ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES.
