4 recalls across 1 model year
The Nissan Van has 4 recalls, all covering the 1990 model year, with the most serious being an engine compartment fire risk tied to heat-vulnerable components and a history of prior repair attempts that did not fully resolve the problem.
All four recalls center on fire and heat damage in the engine compartment. Cooling system hoses on these vehicles can deteriorate and fail at their clamp connections, allowing coolant to spray onto surrounding components. When coolant is lost this way, temperatures and pressure inside the cooling system rise rapidly. A separate but related concern involves power steering hoses that can leak fluid onto the exhaust manifold, which can run hot enough to ignite the fluid and start a fire in the engine compartment. Because prior repair attempts for the engine compartment fire risk were sometimes installed incorrectly, vehicles that received the earlier remedy may still be at risk if the work was not done properly. Any 1990 Nissan Van that has not had all of these repairs verified and confirmed by a dealer remains potentially vulnerable to an under-hood fire.
