1995 Nissan Altima

Component

Service Brakes, Hydraulic:Foundation Components:Hoses, Lines/Piping, And Fittings

Consequence of Defect

certain of the brake hoses for the right rear wheel were routed incorrectly so that contact is made with a suspension component. this causes abrasion to the hose and eventual leakage.

Corrective Action

a leaking brake hose reduces braking capability, increases stopping distances and increases the risk of an accident.

Recall Notes

the right rear brake hose will be inspected to determine if it is routed correctly. misrouted hoses will be inspected for damage, replaced if necessary, and correctly routed.

1995 Nissan Altima

Component

Air Bags:Frontal

Consequence of Defect

nissan is recalling my 1994 and early 1995 altima vehicles following reports that passenger air bag deployments in these vehicles had caused a number of moderate-to-severe eye injuries. nissan has developed a new passenger air bag that is less powerful when it inflates in a crash to reduce the risk of air bag inflation-related injuries.

Corrective Action

nissan expects that this new air bag can help reduce the risk of air bag inflation-related injuries.

Recall Notes

nissan will replace the passenger air bag at no charge to the consumer. the manufacturer has reported that owner notification began april 28, 2003. owners should contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

1995 Nissan Altima

Component

Power Train:Automatic Transmission:Gear Position Indication (Prndl)

Consequence of Defect

the shift lever lock plate, which prevents the shift lever from being inadvertently moved from park to drive or neutral position, can be broken by the transmission shift position pin.

Corrective Action

inadvertent movement of the transmission shift lever without operator action can cause vehicle movement which can result in a vehicle accident.

Recall Notes

dealers will install a bracket to prevent the shift position pin from breaking the shift lever lock plate.

1994 Nissan Altima

Component

Vehicle Speed Control

Consequence of Defect

engine movement can be transmitted to the airflow meter/filter housing and support bracket, which is mounted in the engine air duct, causing the throttle cable housing to pull out of the cable guide. this may prevent the throttle from returning to the idle position when the gas pedal is released.

Corrective Action

if this were to occur while the vehicle is in motion, loss of throttle control could result in an accident.

Recall Notes

nissan will reposition the throttle cable housing in the support bracket to provide additional slack for engine movement. a rubber stopper will be clamped to the cable to maintain the correct position for the cable at the support bracket. in addition, the throttle cable will be tested for pull out resistance from the guide in the event the cable was damaged. the throttle assembly will be replaced, if necessary.
