THIS VEHICLE HAD A RECALL REGARDING THE STEERING GEAR BOX. A SEPARATION OF THE GEAR BOX FROM THE STEERING SHAFT (WHICH HAS DISAPPEARED FROM THE RECALL DATABASE). IT ONLY AFFECTED ONE MONTH OF MANUFACTURE (10/1995 I BELIEVE) WHICH IS THE MANUFACTURE OF MY TRUCK. I AM THE ORIGINAL OWNER PURCHASING NEW IN KINGMAN, AZ JANUARY 1986 AND WAS NEVER NOTIFIED OF THE RECALL. WHEN I LEARNED OF IT DECADES LATER, I HAVE ATTEMPTED TO GET NISSAN TO PERFORM THE REPAIRS, SINCE IT IS A SAFETY THING, AND EVERY PLACE I HAVE TURNED I HAVE BEEN IGNORED GETTING MY TRUCK CORRECTED. I STILL OWN THIS TRUCK AND WOULD LIKE THIS SAFETY RECALL PERFORMED. *JB

Seat Belts
DRIVER'S 3 PT SEAT BELT DOES NOT RETRACT (INTERMITTENTLY); HANGS LOOSE; EXCESSIVE EFFORT BEFORE RETRACTS. TT
THE STEERING COLUMN IS CONNECTED TO THE STEERING GEAR BY MEANS OF SPLINED SHAFT COUPLINGS. THESE COUPLINGS ARE SECURED WITH A TRANSVERSE BOLT AND LOCKWASHER. IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BOLT WAS NOT TIGHTENED AND TORQUED TO SPECIFICATIONS. CONSEQUENCE OF DEFECT: ALTHOUGH THE SPLINES PROVIDE ADEQUATE COUPLING TO PERMIT OPERATION, EXTENDED USE MAY RESULT IN SPLINE DISENGAGEMENT AND LOSS OF VEHICLE CONTROL WHICH MAY CAUSE AN ACCIDENT. CORECTIVE ACTION: INSPECT AND CORRECT AS NECESSARY TO PRECLUDE SPLINE DISENGEMENT.
