PRODUCT SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN
70/90HP “B” SERIES TLDI OUTBOARDS
ISSUED MAY, 2008
Nissan
Marine is dedicated to providing outboards of outstanding
quality and value. As part of our constant efforts to
provide the highest level of customer satisfaction, Nissan
Marine is conducting the recall campaign described below.
This notice
is provided in accordance with the requirements of the
Federal Boat Safety Act and other applicable laws and
regulations.
DESCRIPTION OF RECALL CAMPAIGN
This recall is related to the high pressure fuel filter in
certain 70hp & 90hp “TLDI” models. It has come to our
attention that on certain “B” series models (NSD70B & NSD90B
models), there is a possibility that one of the bolts in the
upper cowl may come in contact with the high pressure fuel
filter located just below it. There is a possibility that
the bolt could rub a hole in the high pressure fuel filter
and cause fuel to leak from the filter, creating a hazardous
situation.

RECOMMENDED ACTION
To prevent damage to the high pressure fuel filter, Nissan
Marine has redesigned the fuel filter mounting bracket. If
your motor is one of the affected models (see above), we
strongly urge you to contact your nearest Authorized Nissan
Marine Dealer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment
for replacement of your mounting bracket. You should
discontinue use of your outboard until the problem has been
corrected.
When
contacting your Authorized Nissan Marine Dealer, mention
Service Bulletin 08-003 and present this notice to the
dealer when you take your engine in for service.
The
replacement work will be performed FREE OF CHARGE to you. In addition,
as part of the replacement work, a new fuel filter will be
installed on your motor at NO CHARGE.
If you
no longer own this engine, please contact our office at
