The problem
On certain king cab trucks, the wires in the harness were routed through the rear doors and into the body. These wires May break due to over bending of the harness as the door is opened and closed. The harness contains wires for the driver seat belt pretensioner and for the front passenger seat belt which is part of the occupant classification system. Wires for the rear audio speakers are also contained n the harness.
The risk
If the wires for the seat belts and speaker wires break and make contact, there is a possibility that the pretensioner May deploy. If this happens when the seat belt is retracted, it will not be possible to use the seat belt. If one of the wires on the right side harness for the seat belt tension sensor breaks, the passenger side front air bag will not deploy as designed in a frontal collision increasing the risk of a crash and personal injury.
The fix
Dealers will replace the wire harness cover with a different type that prevents over bending of the harness and the harness will be rerouted free of charge. The recall began on February 19, 2007. Owners May contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
