Owner Notification Date: Dec 02, 2003
Number of Units Potentially Affected: 630000
Component Description: ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
NHTSA Campaign Number: 03V455000
Schedule an Appointment Schedule an Appointment
Description of Recall Campaign: ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES, THE CIRCUIT BOARD FOR THE CRANK POSITION SENSOR MAY HAVE AN IMPROPER SOLDER JOINT DUE TO SOLDER DEFORMATION CAUSED BY HEAT STRESS ACCELERATED BY THE EXISTENCE OF FLUX RESIDUE DURING THE SOLDERING PROCESS.
THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON, CREATE A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CRANK POSITION SENSORS. VEHICLES INVOLVED IN A PREVIOUS RECALL CAMPAIGN, 01V357, ARE ALSO INCLUDED IN THIS NEW CAMPAIGN. THE REPLACEMENT SENSORS USED IN THAT CAMPAIGN ARE ALSO AFFECTED. OWNER NOTIFICATION IS EXPECTED TO BEGIN DURING DECEMBER 2003. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT NISSAN AT 18006477261 OR INFINITI AT 18006626200.

OK, just an observation here-means nothing and is anecdotal at best. I work as a manager at Walgreens and one of my Pharmacists has a G35. Well he is on his second tranny and clutch. The clutch went and then about 1000 miles after replacement, his trans went. He has approx 30K on the car. He has made the comment to me on a few occasions that on the G35 forum, transmissions seem to be an issue/weak point. What does this mean to me? Nothing.... But to those who think Mazda is at fault for any thing the 8 does on does not do, this should help them see that there is NO GOLDEN CHARIOT! Cars break....even Enzos...

"Lemon Laws" exist so that the consumer does NOT have to use a lawyer IF the consumer has a valid complaint.
