2003 Nissan Sentra Recall
Item Affected:
Date Announced:
Description of Recall:
On certain MY 2000-2002 passenger vehicles equipped with the QG18DE engine and MY 2002-2003 passenger vehicles equipped with QR25DE engines, the foam material used for the interior lining of the Electronic Control Module (ECM) box emits sulfur as it cures. If one of the resistors inside the ECM has a crack on the surface coating, the gas may cause corrosion of the resistor. This could cause the Malfunction Indictor Light to come on, poor drivability (idle instability, poor accelerator), or the engine to stop running during vehicle operation, which could result in a crash.
Action Need To Fix It:
Dealers will remove the inside lining material from the ECM box. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during December 2003. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
