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 69 Nissan notifications from 2007 in this archive. For scale, 422 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 1 year and 4 months.
Defect
The weld material used at the exhaust pipe weld joint is inadequate, causing corrosion at the joint. Continued use allows a crack to develop and propagate, increasing exhaust noise. In the worst case, the exhaust pipe severs and detaches from the vehicle.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the muffler and exhaust pipe with corrected parts.
