| Description of the problem | 2002 nissan fontier crewcab. The 3rd tailight/stoplight that is mounted to the roof has a design flaw. First water fills the light assembly then it leaks into the cab. The carpet in the truck is now ruined, along with the headliner. A heavy downpour will force cups of water into the cab - not just a few drops. See odi#10025784 - as mine is not an isolated case. This problem needs a nissan service bullitin or a recall. |
