What NHTSA recorded

On certain sport utility vehicles, there is a possibility that a wire breaking inside the alternator could stop the battery from charging.

Possible consequence

If this happens, the charger warning and brake warning lamps will immediately come on and the battery will begin to discharge. After a short time, the engine will go into a "fall safe" condition which will limit vehicle speed. The engine will stop running which could result in a crash.

Remedy

Dealers will inspect and replace the alternator with a new version which has been modified to prevent movement of the coil. The recall began on august 1, 2005. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
