INTRODUCTION
Some Model Year 2008 - 2010 M35/45 vehicles may have been built with Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) transmitter nuts that were not
manufactured to specification. Over time, these nuts may corrode and potentially crack, especially in areas where heavy concentrations of road salt are
used. For those vehicles located at dealerships or registered to owners in States that do not use a heavy concentration of road salt, Infiniti is conducting
this Voluntary Service Campaign. The service campaign repair entails replacement of the TPMS transmitter nuts at no charge for parts or labor.
Non-Salt States (States that do not regularly use road salt in the winter) Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon,
South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.
Separately, Infiniti is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign for vehicles located at dealerships or registered to owners in States that use heavy
concentrations of road salt in the winter. Owners of vehicles affected by that campaign will receive separate owner instructions. The vehicles located at
dealerships or registered in the above listed "Non-Salt States" are subject only to the Voluntary Service Campaign, not the Safety Recall Campaign.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Infiniti has assigned identification number P9242 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature
dealing with this campaign.
