What is wrong

Nissan has made a preliminary determination that a defect exists in engine compartment component(s) that may fail due to the engine compartment heat.

The risk

The undetermined engine compartment component(s) cancause an engine compartment fire, resulting in possible injury to vehicleoccupants.

The fix

Dealers will install a new design cooling system including the fan belts, radiator, water pump, alternator, freeze plug shields, and associated hoses. The remedy will also include a new auxiliary electric fan and power steering fluid cooler. To complete the remedy, a warning system to monitor cooling system performance will be installed to detect potential engine overheating.
