2010 Nissan Armada

Issue: 
On certain vehicles, the plastic emblem on the steering wheel airbag cover could detach and become a projectile when the airbag inflates in a crash. 

Safety Risk: 
Projectiles in the occupant compartment could increase the risk of an injury. 

Corrective Actions: 
Nissan will notify owners by mail and advise you to take your vehicle to a dealership to inspect and, if necessary, replace the steering wheel airbag cover.

Certain vehicles fail to comply with the requirements of Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard 210.1 - User-ready Tether Anchorages for Restraint Systems.  Specifically, the pictograms identifying the location of the tether anchors measure 15 mm in height instead of 20 mm as required by the Standard.  Correction: Since this non-compliance condition does not pose any safety risk, no corrective action is required.

On certain vehicles, the lower control link assembly collars (forming the inboard attachment point to the chassis) may not have been manufactured correctly.  If the collar weld fails, the cylindrical collar can open, which will allow the collar to slip over the mounting bolt and bushing.  This may change the wheel camber, which could allow vehicle handling characteristics to deteriorate, possibly resulting in a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.  Correction: Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, replace the lower control link assembly.

On certain four-wheel drive vehicles, the joint portion of the front driveshaft may contain small cracks.  These cracks may eventually lead to a failure, resulting in separation of the front driveshaft.  If the driveshaft failed while the vehicle was moving, a loud noise would be heard.  If the vehicle were in 2WD mode, the driveshaft would come to rest on the frame cross-member, and the vehicle could be operated normally.  The driveshaft would not come in contact with brake, steering or fuel system components, therefore the risk of a crash is considered minimal.  Correction: Dealers will inspect the vehicle and replace the front driveshaft if necessary.

On certain vehicles, the brake pedal pivot pin end was not properly manufactured.  As a result, the pin may not remain in place, causing the brake pedal to partially disengage from the brake pedal bracket.  If this occurs, the driver will experience unusual and noticeable looseness in the pedal and a reduction in braking force.  A reduction in braking force may lead to increased stopping distances and the risk of a crash causing property damage, personal injury or death.  Correction: Owners of all potentially affected vehicles will be contacted and their brake pedal assembly will be inspected and replaced if necessary.
