***** Campaign Summary*****
Nissan is conducting a Regional Voluntary Service Campaign to reprogram the Engine Control
Module (ECM) on affected vehicles currently registered in Nevada and Arizona. The current
programming may cause the air/fuel ratio to become excessively rich resulting in engine stop under
certain high temperature and high altitude conditions.
In addition, Nissan is asking dealers to inspect and, if necessary, replace the Positive Crankcase
Ventilation (PCV) valve on certain 2013-14 Nissan Sentra vehicles.
***** What Dealers Should Do *****
1. Verify if vehicles are affected by this Voluntary Service Campaign using Service Comm or
DBS National Service History - Open Campaign I.D. Due to the various models involved and
the associated responsible manufacturing location of origin, there are three (3) separate
campaign IDs with unique Campaign Bulletins for each model:
 PC633
 PM827
 P8325
New vehicles in dealer inventory can be also be identified using DCS (Sales->
Vehicle Inventory, and filter by Open Campaign).
 Refer to NPSB 15-460 for additional information
NOTE: These campaigns are state-specific and limited to vehicles that are currently
registered, or previously registered, in the state of Nevada or Arizona only.
2.

Nissan requests dealers repair any affected vehicles in retailer new or pre-owned inventory to
ensure customer satisfaction.

This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and
vehicles in dealer inventory. If a VIN subject to this voluntary service campaign was part of a dealer
