***** Campaign Summary*****
Nissan
is issuing a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign on specific 2020-2027 Armada (Y62) vehicles and identified in Service Comm to replace the fuel pump module.
Due to a supplier manufacturing issue that has since been corrected, the fuel pump module may not meet design specification on some of the affected vehicles. Gasoline inside of the fuel pump can cause the impeller to swell, increasing frictional resistance between the swollen impeller and the inlet cover. As a result, the fuel pump module may bind internally, the customer may experience a Malfunction Indicator Light (MIL) ‘ON’ and low fuel condition, which can result in an engine stall while driving and the vehicle may not restart, increasing the risk of a crash.

- Vehicles Potentially Involved:
Production period of affected vehicles involved:
| Model | Dates of Manufacture |
| MY 2020-2021 Nissan | October 5, 2019 to April 2, 2020 |
| MY 2020-2021 INFINITI | October 5, 2019 to April 2, 2020 |
This issue only affects Nissan
Armada and INFINITI
QX80 vehicles equipped with V8 engines. No other Nissan
or INFINITI
models with the subject fuel pump are affected because this issue occurred in specific LOT numbers identified by the fuel pump supplier (TI Fluid Systems).
TI Fluid Systems provides a similar fuel pump design for certain Frontier, Titan and NV3500 vehicles. However, the pump module in those models is assembled by another supplier with a different impeller specification that is unaffected by the issue described in Section 5 below.

- Total Number of Vehicles Potentially Involved:
Approximately 24,140 vehicles shown in the table(s) below:
- Percentage of Vehicles Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect:
Approximately 1.5% for Armada
Approximately 4.5% for QX80
- Description of the Defect:
Due to a supplier manufacturing issue, the fuel pump module may not have been manufactured to design specification on certain affected vehicles. More specifically, during the impeller manufacturing process, a buildup of molten plastic on the injection molding machine cylinder tip caused the part density of the impeller to be out-of-specification. Gasoline inside of the fuel pump can cause the impeller to swell, increasing frictional resistance between the swollen impeller and the inlet cover. As a result, the fuel pump module may bind internally, which can result in an engine stall while driving and increase the risk of a crash.
- Chronology of Principal Events:
June 2020 through November 2020 – Nissan
learned of a potential fuel pump issue on certain vehicles produced by Nissan
Shatai for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) market and initiated an investigation. The investigation in the GCC market determined that a manufacturing issue at the supplier led to certain fuel pump impellers being manufactured out-of-specification. This issue could cause the impeller to swell and the fuel pump module to bind internally, resulting in a nostart condition or an engine stall while driving.
December 2020 through March 2021 – As part of the initial investigation in the GCC market, Nissan
conducted a field action to collect parts from dealer inventory vehicles and perform duplication testing to identify the scope of the issue. Based on the results of the parts collection activity and traceability records provided by TI Fluid Systems, Nissan
determined that certain vehicles that share a similar impeller design to vehicles in the GCC market may be affected.
March 2021 through April 2021 – Nissan
began an investigation into U.S. market vehicles to determine if the issue affected vehicles sold in the U.S.
May 13, 2021 – Nissan
made a decision to recall all potentially affected vehicles to remedy the issue.
Nissan
is not aware of any engine stall while driving incidents related to this issue in the U.S. market.
- Description of Corrective Action:
Dealers will be notified beginning June 2, 2021. Owners of all potentially affected vehicles will be notified within 60 days, to bring their vehicle to the dealer for repair.
Dealers will replace the fuel pump module.
Nissan
will not include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification concerning reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy for the subject vehicles because they are still under warranty.
- Copy of Notices:
Copies of all notices will be provided to NHTSA as they become available.
