INTRODUCTION
Nissan has determined that on some 2003-2004 model year Nissan Sentra vehicles equipped with the 1.8 liter engine with California emissions, there is a
possibility that the catalytic converter may have deteriorated excessively resulting in an increase in exhaust emissions. This may also result in the
malfunction indicator light (MIL) in the instrument panel coming on. This incident has no effect on fuel consumption, driveability, performance, or
safety. To prevent this condition from occurring, Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Recall Campaign to replace the catalytic converter with a new one
free of charge.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number R0501 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature

NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
The number of vehicles potentially affected is approximately 39,000.
