***** Campaign Summary*****
Nissan is committed to customer satisfaction. Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign to
reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) in 2004-2014 Titan, 2005-2014 Frontier, and 2005-2014
Xterra vehicles. The current ACU rollover-sensing calibration logic could allow for unintended curtain
air bag deployment in rare instances occurring under certain unique driving scenarios, usually
involving unpaved roads or off-road where one side of the vehicle is higher than the other. The ACU
reprogramming will improve rollover-sensing calibration to address certain unique driving scenarios,
and help prevent unintended curtain air bag deployment, while maintaining the design intent for
deployment in rollover crashes.
Owners of affected vehicles began being notified beginning in June 2017 and were asked to bring
their vehicle to an authorized Nissan dealer to have the remedy work completed at no cost to the
owner.
***** What Dealers Should Do *****
1. Verify if vehicles are affected by this Voluntary Service Campaign using Service Comm or
DBS National Service History – Open Campaigns I.D. P7318.
2. Dealers are requested to repair any affected vehicles in dealer new or pre-owned inventory to
ensure customer satisfaction.

dealer inventory. If a VIN subject to this voluntary service campaign was part of a dealer trade, the
letter associated with that VIN should be forwarded to the appropriate dealer for service completion.
