07/02 4:35P (DJ) DJ Nissan Recalling 161,000 Infinitis For Electrical Problem
Story 6957 (N/DJN, N/DJWI, N/DJRT, N/GEN, M/NND, P/APNY)
WASHINGTON (AP)--Nissan is recalling 161,000 Infiniti cars for an electrical
problem that could start a fire under the hood.
The recall involves 1997 models of the I30, Q45 and Maxima, according to a
notice posted Tuesday on the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration's
Web site.
A diode in the alternator may have been damaged when the cars were built,
according to NHTSA. The problem can result in an electrical short that could
melt the plastic housing. The gas emitted by the melting plastic could ignite
the fan guide in the alternator.
Nissan will notify owners of the recall next month, NHTSA said. Dealers will
repair the cars for free.
The automaker did not return calls for comment.
