PART
S INFOR
MATIOM
NOTE:
This parts table is a list of parts that are covered by this emission warranty coverage
enhancement. It may list more than one part number for a given Model/Model Year.
For this reason it is required that the electronic parts catalog (FAST or equivalent) be
used to obtain the specific part number for a given vehicle.
The parts listed on the following page(s) include a wide range of evaporative emissions
vent lines and fuel tanks for a large number of vehicles. The usage rate for these parts
is expected to be very small. Nissan recommends that dealers do not stock these parts
and order only as necessary to ensure parts are available when needed, especially for
older models.
