Filing in context
The Alternator is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 13 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 10 Nissan notifications from 1999 in this archive. For scale, 1,962 of the 4,890 filings in this archive report a larger number of affected vehicles; the vehicles involved here were manufactured over a span of about 4 months.
Defect
During the manufacturing process, some diodes in the rectifier circuit of the alternator were improperly assembled. Continued use causes the diodes to deteriorate and fail, allowing excessive current to flow through the rectifier circuit and generating heat. In the worst case, the resin components of the rectifier circuit may melt and the unit may emit smoke.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the alternator with a non-defective unit.
