I read on MSN that there is a safety recall on certain Infiniti's and Maxima's for a problem that causes the car to not start or the engine to stop running altogether. It reads as follows: "On certain passenger vehicles, the circuit board for the crank position sensor may have an improper solder joint due to solder deformation caused by heat stress accelerated by the existence of flux residue during the soldering. This could cause the "service engine soon" warning light to come on, create a no start condition, and cause reduced engine power, or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation, which could result in a crash. Dealers will replace the crank position sensors." This is from Dec 2003, and it affects 630k vehicles. I apologize if this is old news to some but I just recently bought my car and when I checked for any recalls none came up. I just happened upon this today when I was updating my online maintenance log. I hope at least one person finds it useful.

I thought this was old news already, I think mine was done in '05. There was another recall that also includes the already recalled part if already replaced.

 

ya i did service on my maxima and they told me about this recall and replaced it for free ...

 

what did they replace? the transverse link? if so what is this part?

 

different recall dude

 

How soon should i have this (the transverse links) replaced if my vin is in the recall list?
