INTRODUCTION
Nissan has determined that on some 2007 - 2008 Altima Sedans and 2008 Altima Coupes equipped with the 2.5 liter four cylinder engines, a rattle noise
may occur around the exhaust manifold heat shield during start up or at low engine speeds (approximately 1600 RPM). The symptom does not affect the
operation of the engine or the vehicle. To address this issue, Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign to install an exhaust stay bracket, and if
necessary, also replace the exhaust manifold heat shield.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PB053 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature
dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
Nissan recommends that dealers correct each vehicle falling within the range of this campaign that enters the service department. This includes vehicles
purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in a dealer's inventory.
