INTRODUCTION
Nissan has determined that some 2002 model year Nissan Maxima vehicles may have a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety. Under usual driving
conditions, the stopper for the accelerator pedal will prevent excessive movement of the accelerator position sensor. However, it the driver pushes the
pedal to the stopper with overly excessive force while at the same time pushing it to the right, the pedal may "over travel" due to the design of the
stopper. This could cause the engine malfunction indicator lamp to come on and the engine speed to be severely limited. It this occurs unexpectedly, it
could lead to a crash.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number R2001 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 30,592.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the retailer's responsibility to check Service Comm for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall
which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and
vehicles in a dealer's 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
vehicles, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.
