2007 Nissan Murano recalls

Engine and engine cooling

NHTSA campaign 09V169000 · reported May 19, 2009 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 362,891 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Nissan is recalling 362,891 my 2003-2007 murano vehicles. The intake air ducts, which are connected to the intermediate resonator in the air intake system of the engine, may separate from the resonator with engine movement. This separation occurs due to the premature aging of the material used in the intake air ducts which causes excessive shrinking.
The risk
Engine may stall increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will inspect and replace/repair the appropriate components free of charge. The recall began on september 24, 2009. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

NHTSA campaign 08V521000 · reported October 7, 2008 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 204,361 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Nissan is recalling 204,361 my 2007-2008 altima, altima hybrid, 350z, 350z roadster, my 2008 altima coupe, rogue, my 2009 murano, and infiniti my 2007-2008 g35 sedan, my 2008 g37 coupe and ex35 passenger vehicles equipped with continental automotive systems' occupant classification system (ocs) control units. A varistor in the ocs control unit located in the passenger seat cushion may have been manufactured out of specification. Under certain conditions, this could cause an interruption of signal between the ocs and the air bag control unit (acu).
The risk
This could result in the passenger air bag being suppressed which could fail to provide adequate protection in the event of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will test the signal between the ocs and acu systems using a special tool to check that it is functioning as designed. If necessary, the seat cushion (containing ocs hardware) will be replaced with a new one manufactured to specification. The recall began on november 4, 2008. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.
