💥 Crash riskNHTSA 10V517📅 Oct 28, 2010

2004–2006 Infiniti QX56 & 2004–2006 Nissan Armada + 4 more recall: engine

⚠️ What's wrong

Nissan is recalling certain model year 2004-2006 Armada, Titan, infiniti QX56 and model year 2005-2006 Frontier, Pathfinder and Xterra vehicles. The intelligent power distribution module (ipdm) assembly contains an engine control module (ECM) relay that has a diode for electrical current noise reduction. The ECM relay may allow silicon vapor to form and, over time, the silicon evaporates from the diode molding which causes silicon oxide to develop on the ECM relay contact due to arcing.

💥 The risk

This could cause engine stalling increasing the risk of a crash.

🔧 The fix

Dealers will replace the ECM relay inside the ipdm assembly. This service will be performed free of charge. The safety recall began on december 6, 2010. Owners may contact nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

Is the fix free? Yes. Safety recall repairs are free at any authorized dealer under federal law, including parts and labor. (Vehicles more than 15 years old when the recall was announced can be excluded, but most manufacturers still fix them.)
