Fix Defect
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.
