Check against the official notice below — it lists the full affected range.
Nissan is recalling certain 2011-2012 model year vehicles, including the Infiniti FX and M, Nissan Frontier, Xterra, Pathfinder, and NV. The bolts connecting the engine oil cooler and oil filter to the engine in these vehicles may have been manufactured below specification strength. If these bolts break, they can cause an engine oil leak, which would lower oil pressure and potentially cause the engine to seize, increasing the risk of a crash.
Nissan began notifying owners on January 30, 2012, and will replace the connector bolts free of charge at authorized dealers. If you own one of the affected vehicles, you should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 to arrange service.
