Airbag

Transport Canada recall 2020136 · manufacturer campaign R20A6 / PC740

31 March 2020

Transport Canada lists: QX 56 2011–2012 · Armada 2013–2015 · NV 2012–2017 · Titan 2013–2015

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the driver-front airbag inflator could be defective. This could cause the airbag to deploy with more force than normal. It could also cause the inflator to rupture. If the airbag inflator ruptures, fragments could be propelled toward the occupants or cause damage to the airbag and prevent it from inflating properly.

Why it matters

If the vehicle is involved in a crash where the airbag deploys, the airbag inflator could rupture and create a risk of injury or death.

What the dealer will do

The company will notify owners by mail and instruct you to take your vehicle to a dealer to replace the driver-front airbag inflator or airbag module.

Powertrain

Transport Canada recall 2013080 · manufacturer campaign PC204

13 March 2013

Transport Canada lists: NV 2012–2013

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the transmission lever gear selector plate lock clip may have been installed incorrectly during vehicle assembly. Over time, the clip could disengage from the steering column bracket, allowing the transmission cable to move out of position. If this occurs, the transmission shift lever will not match the actual gear position. The driver would be able to remove the key from the ignition, even if the transmission is not actually in the PARK position. This could allow the vehicle to roll away, which could result in a crash causing personal injury and/or property damage.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will inspect and, if necessary, reposition the clip.

Engine

Transport Canada recall 2011436 · manufacturer campaign R185 / R1115

20 December 2011

Transport Canada lists: FX 50 2011 · M 56 2012 · Frontier 2011 · NV 2012 · and 2 more

What is wrong

On certain vehicles, the engine oil cooler stud (onto which the oil filter is mounted) could fail. This could cause an engine oil leak, which could illuminate the instrument panel's engine oil warning lamp. Abnormal noise and rough engine performance may also be noticed and, in the worst case, the engine could fail and stop suddenly while the vehicle is in motion. Engine failure would result in lost vehicle propulsion which, in conjunction with traffic and road conditions, and the driver's reactions, could increase the risk of a crash causing property damage and/or personal injury.

What the dealer will do

Dealers will replace the engine oil cooler connector stud.
