Internal NHTSA #	10409326

Brand	NISSAN
Model	PATHFINDER
Model Year	2005
File date	15/03/11
Component	ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:ENGINE
Product type code	VEHICLE
Description of the problem	Premature wear of timing chain and timing chain guides. In the nissan pathfinder 4. 0l v6 engines, the timing chain and timing chain guides are wearing out prematurely. Our vehicle was identified by nissan dealer service at 62,000 miles and the required fix action was to replace the timing chain and timing chain quides out of warranty at a cost of $1500. 00. These parts do not have a recommended service interval as they are supposed to last the life of the vehicle however nissan has identified this as a problem in the pathfinder and other nissan vehicles that use the same engine and has issued two separate service bulletins to correct the problem at customer expense. This appears to be an engineering deficiency and should be addressed by nissan at their expense.
