Summary: On certain light duty trucks, the battery cable may have been routed incorrectly during vehicle manufacturing that could allow the battery cable to contact the edge of the rear transmission mounting bracket. During normal vehicle operation the battery cable corrugated protective conduit could become worn away and allow shorting of the positive battery cable to the frame.
Consequence: This could cause an electrical short, which could result in a fire.
Remedy: For my 1999-2000 models, dealers will inspect and reroute the cable correctly to the smooth side of the rear transmission mounting bracket and secure it to the chassis wiring harness as designed or will have the positive battery cable replaced. For my 2001-2002, dealers will secure the battery cable to the adjacent chassis wiring harness with a plastic tie strap to prevent excessive movement of the cable or if the corrugated protective conduit worn through near the rear transmission mounting bracket or the third frame cross member support will be replaced. The recall began on on September 19, 2005. Owners may contact Nissan diesel at 972-756-5500.

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.

Check your VIN with NHTSA

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.
