- Summary
- Certain light duty trucks may have had the outer corrugated protective conduit for the battery cable worn through at the rear transmission mounting bracket and the battery cable may rub against the edge of the third frame cross member support and allow the battery cable to short against the frame.
- Consequence
- This could cause an electrical short, which could result in a fire.
- Remedy
- Dealers will replace the battery cable with a redesigned cable that will prevent movement of the cable inside the corrugated protective conduit and a protective edge guard will be installed on the lower edge of the third chassis frame across member support. The recall began on September 19, 2005. Owners may contact Nissan diesel america at 972-756-5500.

Vehicles covered
As listed by NHTSA. A recall usually covers only some vehicles of each model and year, often a production date range.
Has your UD been repaired?
Recalls here come from NHTSA’s records for the model and year. Not every vehicle of a model is included in every recall, and this site can’t see whether a repair has been done. Only a VIN lookup can tell you that.
NHTSA’s VIN search doesn’t show recalls that were already repaired, recalls more than 15 years old, or some small manufacturers’ recalls. A UD dealer can also check your VIN. Recall repairs are free.
