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, 84 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 7 years.
Defect
On the combination lamp assembly (reverse, tail, stop, and turn signal lamps), the electrical connector terminals in the bulb holder are deformed. This allows insulating deposits to form on the terminal contact surfaces, causing poor conductivity. As a result, the affected lamps may fail to illuminate or may not operate normally.
Corrective action
On all vehicles, cut and remove the vehicle-side electrical wiring connector at the affected lamp, then solder additional wiring directly to the bulb holder circuit board.
