Filing in context
The Exhaust Pipe is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 35 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 38 Nissan notifications from 2005 in this archive. For scale, 2,167 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 2 years and 8 months.
Defect
On the special edition model (manufacturer designation: Rider Stage 2), a section of the exhaust pipe in the noise suppression system was manufactured from a different material than specified, causing rust to develop during use. Continued use allows the rust to progress until engine and drivetrain vibration causes the exhaust pipe to fracture, resulting in increased exhaust noise.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the complete muffler assembly with a genuine part.
