Nissan North America, Inc. Models: Nissan Maxima Year: 1997-1998
Infiniti I30 Year: 1997-1998
Infiniti Q45 Year: 1997-1998
Number Involved: 161,000
Dates of Manufacture: February 1997 - February 1998
Defect: One of the diodes used in the alternator may have been damaged during the manufacturing process. This can eventually result in failure of the diode and an electrical short that could melt the plastic housing. If the combustible gas emitted by the melting plastic does not disperse due to airflow through the engine compartment, it can cause the fan guide in the alternator to ignite.
Remedy: Dealers will replace the alternator. The manufacturer has reported that owner notification is expected to begin during August 2002. Owners who do not receive the free remedy within a reasonable time should contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261 or Infiniti at 1-800-662-6200.
