Owner Letter
Dear Nissan Pathfinder Owner:
Subject:
WARRANTY EXTENSION
Nissan is dedicated to providing vehicles of outstanding value and quality. To meet these goals we closely monitor in-use vehicles for long term
durability performance. In this way, opportunities for improvement are quickly identified before Nissan owners are inconvenienced.
It has come to our attention that some owners of 1996 - 1998 Pathfinders may be experiencing a minor noise involving the exhaust manifold, and/or
corrosion/ rattles involving the main muffler and post muffler assembly. These conditions have no effect on performance or driveability, and you may
continue to drive the vehicle if either should occur.
