- Published by: NHTSA \(United States\)
- Campaign number: 01V277000
- Manufacturer: NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC.

## What is wrong

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION:  PASSENGER VEHICLES.  THE COOLING HOLES IN THE STEEL  WHEEL MAY HAVE BURRS ON THEIR EDGES AS A RESULT OF IMPROPER MANUFACTURING.  THESE BURRS CAN CAUSE CRACKS AS THE VEHICLE IS BEING DRIVEN.  CRACKS CAN PROPAGATE BETWEEN ADJACENT COOLING HOLES.  IF ENOUGH CRACKS DEVELOP BETWEEN THE COOLING HOLES, THE WHEEL COULD FAIL AND SEPARATE FROM THE MOUNTING HUB WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING.


## What can happen

SEPARATION OF THE WHEEL FROM THE VEHICLE WHILE BEING OPERATED COULD RESULT IN A VEHICLE CRASH.


## The remedy

DEALERS WILL INSPECT FOR CRACKS AND REPLACE THE WHEEL IF CRACKS ARE DISCOVERED.  OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BE CONDUCTED IN TWO PHASES.  THE FIRST MAILING BEGAN OCTOBER 1, 2001, ASKING OWNERS TO BRING THEIR VEHICLES IN TO A DEALER FOR INSPECTION OF THE WHEELS.  ANY WHEELS WITH CRACKS WILL BE REPLACED.  A SECOND OWNER NOTIFICATION WILL BEGIN IN EARLY DECEMBER, AT WHICH TIME NISSAN WILL HAVE AN ADEQUATE NUMBER OF REPLACEMENT WHEELS, REQUESTING OWNERS TO RETURN TO THEIR DEALERS TO HAVE THE WHEELS REPLACED.   OWNERS WHO TAKE THEIR VEHICLES TO AN AUTHORIZED DEALER ON AN AGREED UPON SERVICE DATE AND DO NOT RECEIVE THE FREE REMEDY WITHIN A REASONABLE TIME SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 1\-800\-647\-7261.


## Notes
