2002 NISSAN XTERRA Recalls Canada & USA

2002 NISSAN XTERRA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2002 Nissan Xterra has 3 recalls, the most serious involving corrosion in the lower steering column joint that can cause the shaft to break and leave the driver with no steering control. The airbag recall involves a clockspring electrical connector that may not stay fully seated against the driver's airbag module. If it works loose, the airbag warning light comes on and the driver's airbag may not deploy in a crash. On the engine side, this recall only affects supercharged models: under cold conditions with heavy throttle in a low gear, airflow through the meter can exceed the system's calibrated limit and force the engine into a reduced-power failsafe mode.
