ON THIS 2010 ARMADA, SINCE THE FIRST USE AFTER PURCHASE, THE LOW FUEL WARNING COMES ON WITH ABOUT 8 GALLONS LEFT IN THE 28-GALLON TANK, WHILE THE FUEL GAUGE NEEDLE APPEARS TO INDICATE THE CORRECT AMOUNT OF REMAINING FUEL. (OUR 2005 ARMADA DEVELOPED THIS EXACT PROBLEM AFTER A FEW YEARS, AND WE HAVE RECEIVED THE RECALL NOTICE REGARDING THE OPPOSITE PROBLEM IN WHICH SOME SYSTEMS SHOW MORE FUEL THAN ACTUAL.) AT THIS POINT IT IS AN INCONVENIENCE AS OPPOSED A SAFETY ISSUE, BUT, SINCE THE PROBLEM ON OUR 2010 ARMADA IS OBVIOUSLY MERELY A DIFFERENT SYMPTOM OF PROBABLY THE SAME FAULTY COMPONENT, I FEEL THE NHTSA SHOULD CONSIDER ISSUING A RECALL FOR THE 2010 MODEL AS WELL (AND FOR OTHER YEAR MODELS NOT YET RECALLED) SINCE THE MALFUNCTION COULD JUST AS WELL SHIFT TO THE UNSAFE FAILURE MODE. IT ALSO SEEMS VERY LIKELY THAT MANY OWNERS ARE EXPERIENCING THE SAME MALFUNCTION AS WITH MY 2005 AND 2010 MODELS, BUT THAT THE NHTSA'S STATISTICS DO NOT TRACK SUCH COMPLAINTS PROBLEM BECAUSE THE FAULTY COMPONENT IS NOT YET 'UNSAFE' IN THIS PARTICULAR MODE OF MALFUNCTION. (SINCE THE VEHICLE IS AT THE DEALERSHIP, I DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO THE VIN OR TO OUR OFFICE RECORDS THIS WEEKEND, BUT CAN PROVIDE THE VIN LATER IF IT IS POSSIBLE TO REVISE A POSTING.) *TR

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 NISSAN ARMADA VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM JUNE 7, 2010 THROUGH JUNE 11, 2010. THESE VEHICLES FAIL TO COMPLY WITH THE REQUIREMENTS OF FEDERAL MOTOR VEHICLE SAFETY STANDARD NO. 207, "SEATING SYSTEMS." THE SECOND ROW CENTER SEAT HINGE ASSEMBLY WAS MANUFACTURED OUT OF SPECIFICATION. THIS MAY PREVENT THE REAR CENTER SEATBACK FROM FULLY LOCKING IN THE IN-USE (UPRIGHT) POSITION.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IN THE EVENT OF A CRASH, THE SECOND ROW CENTER SEAT MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY INCREASING THE RISK OF INJURY TO THE SEAT OCCUPANT.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT THE SECOND ROW CENTER SEAT HINGES/LOCK FOR PROPER FUNCTION. IF THE SEAT DOES NOT LOCK AS DESIGNED, THE SECOND ROW CENTER SEAT HINGE ASSEMBLY WILL BE REPLACED WITH A NEW ONE FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON AUGUST 30, 2010.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2010 TITAN, ARMADA, QX56, FRONTIER, XTERRA, AND PATHFINDER VEHICLES MANUFACTURED FROM NOVEMBER 19, 2009 THROUGH MARCH 3, 2010. THE LOWER CONTROL LINK ASSEMBLY HAS TWO CYLINDRICAL COLLARS FORMING THE INBOARD ATTACHMENT POINTS TO THE CHASSIS. DUE TO AN IMPROPER WELDING PROCESS SOME COLLARS MAY CONTAIN WELDS THAT DO NOT MEET STRENGTH SPECIFICATIONS.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: IF THE COLLAR WELD SEPARATES, THE VEHICLE HANDLING WILL DETERIORATE, POSSIBLY RESULTING IN A VEHICLE CRASH.
Remedy: NISSAN WILL NOTIFY OWNERS AND DEALERS WILL REPAIR THE VEHICLES FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MAY 20, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.

THE BRAKE PEDAL PIVOT PIN END WAS NOT SPIN-FORMED TO SPECIFICATION DURING THE MANUFACTURING PROCESS OF THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY. THE PIVOT PIN COULD SLIDE AND CAUSE THE BRAKE PEDAL TO PARTIALLY DISENGAGE FROM THE BRAKE PEDAL BRACKET.
Consequence & remedy
Consequence: THE DRIVER WILL EXPERIENCE UNUSUAL AND NOTICEABLE LOOSENESS IN THE PEDAL AND A REDUCTION IN BRAKING FORCE INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
Remedy: DEALERS WILL INSPECT TO SEE IF THE PIVOT PIN HAD BEEN FORMED PROPERLY AND WILL REPLACE THE BRAKE PEDAL ASSEMBLY IF NECESSARY FREE OF CHARGE. THE SAFETY RECALL BEGAN ON MARCH 22, 2010. OWNERS MAY CONTACT NISSAN AT 1-800-647-7261.
