What this recall covers

NHTSA's campaign record, quoted as published

The defect

VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS. THE FUEL FILTER SUPPORT BRACKET CAN CRACK AND BREAK DUE TO VIBRATION, WHICH COULD ALLOW THE FUEL FILTER TO SEPARATE AND LODGE ON TOP OF THE CHASSIS FRAME.

The risk

THE FUEL FILTER SUPPORT BRACKET COULD THEN COME IN CONTACT WITH THE ENGINE ASSEMBLY.

The remedy

DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE FUEL FILTER BRACKET WITH A REDESIGNED FUEL BRACKET TO PREVENT CRACKING AND BREAKING DURING NORMAL VEHICLE OPERATION.

Notes

OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING MAY 2000.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 DIESEL AT 1-972-756-5500. ALSO CONTACT THE NATIONAL HIGHWAY TRAFFIC SAFETY ADMINISTRATION'S AUTO SAFETY HOTLINE AT 1-888-DASH-2-DOT (1-888-327-4236).

A safety recall is issued when a manufacturer or NHTSA determines that a vehicle has a safety-related defect or does not comply with a federal motor vehicle safety standard. Recall repairs are free. Whether a specific vehicle is covered depends on its VIN — a recall listed for a model year does not necessarily apply to every vehicle of that year.
