Wow... Good find Thanks for the heads up.. Is the a perticular year..

Nice to see they are on top of these issues. I hope no one has been hurt by having a failure due to this. Who could have opened and closed the doors enough for this to happen? I'd think it would take years of movement.

I have not heard about this but wonder if this is causing some of my speaker buzz problems that I can not find.

Hmm, I wonder if that's why my SRS light is on.

DRTYAZN · 01-07-2007, 03:38 AM

good lookin' out... I will print and take to stealership with the next scheduled screw me over front to rear checkup... good post!

Interesting. Nothing at nissanhelp.com yet. I didn't even know that we had a seat belt pretensioner that needed to "deploy". I thought the seat belt tension thing was completely mechanical in nature, and not electrically actuated. I hope I didn't mess this stuff up yanking 12 gauge wire through the door boots. I wonder what the fix is, going back to the part from prior year?

**loufish** · 01-07-2007, 07:24 AM

FYI...The 2004 F-150 now has 80 factory TSB's....just checked.

"Oh the Titan has too many TSB's..."
Yeah, right...

Seat belts are passive/aggressive, which means you can move it manually, but in an accident, it''ll cinch up tight to your body. When you release it after an accident, it must be replaced, as once cinched up, it can no longer be used.

That's not Nissan's idea, it's DOT mandated.

The fix is adding a plastic boot to cover the area where the wires might fray.

That sounds easy. I wonder how long it will take?

From what I read, dealers will not have the parts till 2/27/2007.

It's SOP to announce recalls, before the parts are available...good or bad, that's the governments was of doing things.

lou--please share the website regarding the Ford TSB's. I have two good friend's with that year F-150.

Also--your mailbox is full.

thanks
