CAMPAIGN ID #:
APPLIED VEHICLES: 2009 Murano (Z51)
Check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS)
National Service History to confirm campaign eligibility.

INTRODUCTION
Nissan is conducting a Service Campaign on certain specific MY2009 Nissan Murano
vehicles to remove the DOT 3 brake fluid from the brake system and replace it with new
DOT 4 brake fluid. In rare instances, the ABS actuator may need to be replaced. This
Service Campaign will be performed at no charge to the affected customers for parts or
labor.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number P8305 to this campaign. This number must
appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
Dealers are to repair vehicles falling within range of this campaign that enter the service
department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties, vehicles presented by
transient (tourists) owners, and vehicles in a dealer’s inventory.

Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are
properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job
properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO
NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle.
