{"source":"tc","country":"ca","campaign":"2011165","date":"2011-04-21","owner_notified":null,"manufacturer":null,"component":"Structure","summary":"On certain vehicles operated in areas of heavy road salt usage during winter months, a mixture of snow/water and salt may enter an assembly location hole in the upper strut housing, causing water to collect at the mating surface of the strut housing panel and the inner hood ledge assembly.  Over time, this snow/water and salt intrusion may result in corrosion of the strut tower housing structure.  If the vehicle continues to be driven in this condition, the strut housing may crack and pull away from the inner hood ledge assembly.  Should the strut housing separate and contact the steering column upper shaft, the steering shaft could break.  A loss of steering control could result in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect the strut housing and, if no corrosion or only minor surface corrosion is present, an anti-corrosion seal will be applied.  If moderate corrosion is present, resin patches will be applied in addition to the sealant.  If there is evidence of more significant corrosion, a metal reinforcement plate will be used to reinforce the strut housing assembly.  In instances where it is impossible to repair the vehicle, Nissan will provide an appropriate remedy.","consequence":null,"remedy":null,"notes":null,"mfr_campaign":"R177 & R178","part_number":null,"units":74983,"completion":null,"do_not_drive":null,"park_outside":null,"notification":"Safety Mfr","french":{"component":"Structure","notification":"Sécurité - fabricant","summary":"Sur certains véhicules utilisés dans des régions où on épand beaucoup de sel sur les routes pendant l'hiver, un mélange de neige/eau et de sel pourrait pénétrer dans un orifice dans le carter de jambe de force supérieur, ce qui ferait en sorte que de l'eau puisse s'accumuler sur la surface où se rencontrent le panneau de carter de jambe de force et le dispositif de capot intérieur (inner hood ledge assembly). À la longue, cette intrusion de neige/eau et de sel pourrait faire rouiller le carter de tour de jambe de force. Si on continuait à utiliser le véhicule dans cet état, le carter de jambe de force pourrait se fissurer et s'éloigner du dispositif de capot intérieur. Si le carter de jambe de force se détachait et touchait à l'arbre supérieur de la colonne de direction, l'arbre de direction pourrait se briser. Une perte de contrôle de la direction pourrait causer un accident, endommager des biens matériels ou blesser quelqu'un.  Correction : Les concessionnaires devront inspecter le carter de jambe de force et, s'il n'est pas rouillé ou qu'il comporte seulement un peu de corrosion en surface, un scellement contre la corrosion devra être appliqué. En cas de quantité moyenne de corrosion, des retouches en résine devront être appliquées en plus du scellant. S'il y a des signes de corrosion plus importante, une plaque de renfort métallique devra être utilisée pour renforcer le carter de jambe de force. S'il est impossible de réparer le véhicule, Nissan devra fournir une solution appropriée."},"vehicles":[{"year":1997,"make":"INFINITI","model":"QX4","vehicle_id":"1997_infiniti_qx4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1998,"make":"INFINITI","model":"QX4","vehicle_id":"1998_infiniti_qx4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1999,"make":"INFINITI","model":"QX4","vehicle_id":"1999_infiniti_qx4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2000,"make":"INFINITI","model":"QX4","vehicle_id":"2000_infiniti_qx4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2001,"make":"INFINITI","model":"QX4","vehicle_id":"2001_infiniti_qx4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2002,"make":"INFINITI","model":"QX4","vehicle_id":"2002_infiniti_qx4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2003,"make":"INFINITI","model":"QX4","vehicle_id":"2003_infiniti_qx4","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1996,"make":"NISSAN","model":"PATHFINDER","vehicle_id":"1996_nissan_pathfinder","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1997,"make":"NISSAN","model":"PATHFINDER","vehicle_id":"1997_nissan_pathfinder","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1998,"make":"NISSAN","model":"PATHFINDER","vehicle_id":"1998_nissan_pathfinder","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":1999,"make":"NISSAN","model":"PATHFINDER","vehicle_id":"1999_nissan_pathfinder","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2000,"make":"NISSAN","model":"PATHFINDER","vehicle_id":"2000_nissan_pathfinder","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2001,"make":"NISSAN","model":"PATHFINDER","vehicle_id":"2001_nissan_pathfinder","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2002,"make":"NISSAN","model":"PATHFINDER","vehicle_id":"2002_nissan_pathfinder","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2003,"make":"NISSAN","model":"PATHFINDER","vehicle_id":"2003_nissan_pathfinder","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null},{"year":2004,"make":"NISSAN","model":"PATHFINDER","vehicle_id":"2004_nissan_pathfinder","match":"exact","built_from":null,"built_to":null}],"may_apply":true,"as_of":"2026-10-19","lookup":{"nhtsa":"https://www.nhtsa.gov/recalls","tc":"https://wwwapps.tc.gc.ca/Saf-Sec-Sur/7/VRDB-BDRV/search-recherche/menu.aspx?lang=eng","maker":null},"attribution":["Contains information licensed under the Open Government Licence – Canada."],"url":"https://open.wenmarpro.com/recalls/tc/2011165"}
