Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Nissan is recalling certain 2004–2006 Armada and Titan vehicles, 2005–2006 Frontier, Pathfinder, and Xterra vehicles, and Infiniti QX56 models due to a defect in the engine control module relay located inside the intelligent power distribution module assembly. Over time, silicon vapor can form and evaporate from the diode molding, causing silicon oxide to develop on the relay contact through arcing. This defect could cause engine stalling and increase the risk of a crash.
Dealers will replace the ECM relay inside the IPDM assembly free of charge. The recall began on December 6, 2010. Affected owners should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.

NISSAN IS RECALLING CERTAIN MODEL YEAR 2004-2006 ARMADA, TITAN, INFINITI QX56 AND MODEL YEAR 2005-2006 FRONTIER, PATHFINDER AND XTERRA VEHICLES. THE INTELLIGENT POWER DISTRIBUTION MODULE (IPDM) ASSEMBLY CONTAINS AN ENGINE CONTROL MODULE (ECM) RELAY THAT HAS A DIODE FOR ELECTRICAL CURRENT NOISE REDUCTION. THE ECM RELAY MAY ALLOW SILICON VAPOR TO FORM AND, OVER TIME, THE SILICON EVAPORATES FROM THE DIODE MOLDING WHICH CAUSES SILICON OXIDE TO DEVELOP ON THE ECM RELAY CONTACT DUE TO ARCING.
