242,720 SUVs Recalled by Nissan...Wow!
BEWARE:
The Nissan recall involves trucks (2005-2009 Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra ) sold or are currently registered in the 20 "cold states", Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, West Virginia and Wisconsin and the District of Columbia.
Apparently in the winter, the mixture of road salt, snow and water could possible enter the "crash zone" sensor area and cause rust, which will interrupt the signal. The signal interruption could cause the air bag deployment to fail in a crash. To date no crashes or injuries have been related to this issue. If your sensor is malfunctioning the red air bag warning light will be lit on the instrument panel.
Dealers will replace these sensors at no cost. Owners who are living in other states will be given a 10 year extended warranty to cover this sensor.
What impact will this have on Nissan? Stay tuned....
