VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN
1998 FRONTIER AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION SHIFTER ASSEMBLY REPLACEMENT
CAMPAIGN IDENTIFICATION NO: 98V-064
APPLIED VEHICLE:
1998 Frontier (D22)
APPLIED VIN:

INTRODUCTION
There is a possibility that on some 1998 Frontier trucks, a securing pin inside the Automatic Transmission Shifter Assembly could come loose. This
could allow the shift lever to be inadvertently moved out of the "Park" position without the key in the ignition and could result in unexpected movement
of the vehicle if the parking brake is not engaged. There may also be difficulty in shifting the lever in or out of "Park" with the key in the ignition.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number 98V-064 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature
dealing with this campaign.
NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
Approximately 3,000
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealer's responsibility to check Service Comm for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this campaign which for any
reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in
dealer inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior to sale.
Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While federal law applies only to new cars, Nissan
strongly encourages dealers to also correct any used trucks in their inventory which fall within the range of this campaign prior to sale.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
1.
Check Service Comm to verify that the campaign procedure has not already been performed on this vehicle.
