Reported: 2005-07-28 (July 28, 2005)
ON CERTAIN MEDIUM DUTY TRUCKS, THE EXHAUST PIPE MAY BREAK AT THE EXHAUST BRAKE MOUNTING FLANGE.
Consequence: THE EXHAUST BRAKE AND MUFFLER ASSEMBLY COULD SEPARATE FROM THE EXHAUST PIPE AND BE DISCHARGED FROM UNDER THE VEHICLE IN THE EVENT THAT THE EXHAUST PIPE CRACKS COMPLETELY THROUGH WHILE DRIVING. THIS COULD OCCUR WITHOUT WARNING AND POTENTIALLY CAUSE A CRASH OR IMPEDE OTHER VEHICLES ON THE HIGHWAY.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE EXHAUST PIPE ON THE AFFECTED VEHICLES. THE RECALL BEGAN ON OCTOBER 28, 2005. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN DIESEL AT 1-972-756-5500.
ON CERTAIN TRUCKS EQUIPPED WITH BANDO BELT TENSIONER, CORROSION OR RUST MAY DEVELOP ON THE TENSIONER SPINDLE OR BUSHING CAUSING THE AUTO TENSIONER TO BECOME STIFF OR BIND. THIS CAN CAUSE THE DRIVE BELT TO SUDDENLY COME OFF, OR THE AUTO TENSIONER MOUNTING BOLTS COULD SUDDENLY BREAK.
Consequence: IF THE DRIVE BELT COMES OFF, THE ALTERNATOR WARNING LAMP WILL ILLUMINATE. IF THE WARNING IS IGNORED, THIS CONDITION COULD ULTIMATELY RESULT IN A LOSS OF VEHICLE POWER (ENGINE STALL) INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE AUTO TENSIONER, INSTALL UPGRADED MOUNTING BOLTS, AND REPLACE THE ACCESSORY DRIVE BELT FREE OF CHARGE. THE RECALL BEGAN ON JUNE 23, 2006. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN DIESEL AT 972-756-5523. NOTE: THIS RECALL HAS BEEN SUPERSEDED BY 07V207.

Emerging complaint spikes
Complete months in the latest six months with at least 10 complaints, at least twice the preceding 12-month average, and at least three square-root deviations above that average.
This is a descriptive screening rule, not a statistical defect finding. Publicity and reporting changes can increase submissions.
No complete months meet the spike thresholds for this selection.
Equal-age model-year comparison
Model-wide cumulative reports during the first three or five calendar years, starting with the model year (age 0). Only fully elapsed windows are compared.
