Filing in context
The Wiring is the most frequently cited component category in this archive, appearing in 236 of its 4,890 filings. This filing is one of 41 Nissan notifications from 2012 in this archive. For scale, 2,045 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 3 months.
Defect
The edges of the metal electrical wiring protection cover located beneath the driver's seat are not properly finished and remain sharp. During assembly, these sharp edges damaged the electrical wiring routed nearby. Continued operation allows the damaged wiring to contact the cover and short circuit. In the worst case, the backup lamp may fail to illuminate, or the engine may stall during driving and fail to restart.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, replace the electrical wiring protection cover with a corrected part. Inspect the electrical wiring: repair any wires with damaged insulation, and replace any wires with broken conductors with new parts.
