2008 NISSAN XTERRA Recalls — Canada & USA

The 2008 Nissan Xterra has 4 recalls, the most serious being a GPS accessory sold through Nissan dealerships where a battery defect can cause the unit to overheat and catch fire. The brakes are the other significant concern: the anti-lock brake and stability control actuator on certain vehicles was assembled with extra ball bearings in the valve, which can block brake fluid flow and reduce braking force at one or both front wheels, increasing stopping distance. The remaining recall involves an incorrect tire placard that lists the wrong vehicle capacity weight, which could lead to unintentional overloading if the owner relies on that label when loading the vehicle.
