- The problem
- On certain trucks equipped with bando belt tensioner, corrosion or rust may develop on the tensioner spindle or bushing causing the auto tensioner to become stiff or bind. This can cause the drive belt to suddenly come off, or the auto tensioner mounting bolts could suddenly break.
- The risk
- If the drive belt comes off, the alternator warning lamp will illuminate. If the warning is ignored, this condition could ultimately result in a loss of vehicle power (engine stall) increasing the risk of a crash.
- The fix
- Dealers will replace the auto tensioner, install upgraded mounting bolts, and replace the accessory drive belt free of charge. The recall began on august 24, 2007. Owners may contact nissan diesel at 972-756-5523. Note: this recall will supersede nissan diesel's previous campaign (please see 06v159).

but from all research that I have done it seem that there is a brake problem again nissan have not once had any recalls on their brake I feel thought that they should be made to recall all of these trucks before some one get hurts my truck was repair with only 26,091 mile on it. I am going to schedule appointment for nissan this week. Aslo my truck was service by delaware for brake inspection after I purchase the truck and I was told the brakes was find also had problem with dvd in the ceiling keep falling down and dvd getting stuck in it. When I purchase my truck there was a crack on the passenger side door that we are in agreement to have fix if I purchase the truck was told by delaware cadillac to go gt estimate for the repair and they will make arrangement to have it fix never heard from anyone about that I feel thought that if you pending that type of money for a truck everyone should be able to honor there product but everyone wants to point finger somewhere us and it not fair to us. *Tr
