Involved in this recall are 5,000 units.

Also, Nissan is recalling at least 143, 000 four-wheel drive Frontiers and Xterras for 2001 mode year. This recall has been issued because water gets into the rear axle via a badly sealed anti-lock brake sensor, causing the bearing to produce rust and to possibly break.
