NHTSA Recall 05V262000
NHTSA Campaign Id 05V262000; Date: Jun. 2, 2005
This could cause an electrical short, which could result in a fire.
Recalled Vehicles:
1999 UD UD1200; 2000 UD UD1200; 2001 UD UD1200; 2002 UD UD1200; 1999 UD UD1400; 2000 UD UD1400; 2001 UD UD1400; 2002 UD UD1400
Component: Electrical System:battery:cables
Manufactured by: Nissan Diesel America, Inc
Affected Units:: 3,857
Recall Summary:
On certain light duty trucks, the battery cable may have been routed incorrectly during vehicle manufacturing that could allow the battery cable to contact the edge of the rear transmission mounting bracket. During normal vehicle operation the battery cable corrugated protective conduit could become worn away and allow shorting of the positive battery cable to the frame.
How to Fix:
For my 1999-2000 models, dealers will inspect and reroute the cable correctly to the smooth side of the rear transmission mounting bracket and secure it to the chassis wiring harness as designed or will have the positive battery cable replaced. For my 2001-2002, dealers will secure the battery cable to the adjacent chassis wiring harness with a plastic tie strap to prevent excessive movement of the cable or if the corrugated protective conduit worn through near the rear transmission mounting bracket or the third frame cross member support will be replaced. The recall began on on September 19, 2005. Owners may contact Nissan diesel at 972-756-5500.
