DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealer's responsibility to check 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 the federal law applies only to new cars, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to correct any used
cars in their inventory prior to sale.
INSPECTION PROCEDURE
If you have vehicles in inventory that fall within the VIN range above, use SERVICE-COMM to confirm that the vehicles require this procedure.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
Perform the following procedure for the rear doors only.
