INTRODUCTION
Some 1998 Frontiers may develop refrigerant leaks in the vehicle's air conditioner lower return hose due to vibration. To ensure customer satisfaction
and prevent any future inconvenience, Nissan has initiated a Voluntary Service Campaign to install a bracket on the lower return hose of the air
conditioning system to minimize this vibration.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number P8163 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature
dealing with this Campaign.
NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
The number of vehicles potentially affected is approximately 90,000.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is a dealer responsibility to check (with SERVICE-COMM) each vehicle falling within the range of this service campaign which for any reason enters
the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from your dealership, other Nissan dealerships, private parties, or vehicles presented by
transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in dealer inventory.
A list of affected customers in your area will be sent to Nissan regional offices for distribution to Nissan dealers once all of the customer notification
letters have been sent. This list will assist you in identifying those vehicles involved in this service campaign. Each dealership service department is
encouraged to contact these vehicle owners to have the required inspections and repairs completed on their vehicle.
CUSTOMER FOCUS
Maintaining a strong customer relationship throughout the Frontier Air Conditioner Lower Return Hose Campaign is one of the key goals of NMC. Each
and every action taken by Nissan and the servicing dealer will have a significant impact in retaining current Frontier owners as future customers.
