2006 Nissan Titan recalls

Engine and engine cooling

NHTSA campaign 10V517000 · reported October 28, 2010 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 747,480 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 armada, titan, infiniti qx56 and model year 2005-2006 frontier, pathfinder and xterra vehicles. The intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) assembly contains an engine control module (ECM) relay that has a diode for electrical current noise reduction. The ECM relay may allow silicon vapor to form and, over time, the silicon evaporates from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide to develop on the ECM relay contact due to arcing.
The risk
This could cause engine stalling increasing the risk of a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the ECM relay inside the ipdm assembly. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on december 6, 2010. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Fuel system, other: storage, fuel gauge system

NHTSA campaign 10V074000 · reported March 3, 2010 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 340,000 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
Nissan is recalling certain model year 2005-2009 titan, armada, and infiniti qx56 vehicles. The instrument panel fuel gauge may inaccurately display that the vehicle still has some fuel, typically about one quarter tank, when the fuel tank is empty.
The risk
This could cause the vehicle to run out of gas and stall on the highway, which could cause a crash.
The fix
Dealers will replace the fuel sender unit inside the fuel tank with a new improved sender card. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on march 22, 2010. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Electrical system

NHTSA campaign 06V459000 · reported November 30, 2006 · NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. · 96,500 vehicles potentially affected

The problem
On certain king cab trucks, the wires in the harness were routed through the rear doors and into the body. These wires may break due to over bending of the harness as the door is opened and closed. The harness contains wires for the driver seat belt pretensioner and for the front passenger seat belt which is part of the occupant classification system. Wires for the rear audio speakers are also contained n the harness.
The risk
If the wires for the seat belts and speaker wires break and make contact, there is a possibility that the pretensioner may deploy. If this happens when the seat belt is retracted, it will not be possible to use the seat belt. If one of the wires on the right side harness for the seat belt tension sensor breaks, the passenger side front air bag will not deploy as designed in a frontal collision increasing the risk of a crash and personal injury.
The fix
Dealers will replace the wire harness cover with a different type that prevents over bending of the harness and the harness will be rerouted free of charge. The recall began on february 19, 2007. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
