Nissan is conducting this Takata Inflator Field Quality Parts Collection Initiative to replace

Takata’s documentation is attached and is part of this bulletin.
NOTE:
 This activity will expire when sufficient quantities have been collected.
 As part of this initiative, a complementary engine oil and filter change may be
performed.

correct number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature
dealing with this initiative.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
Dealers are to repair vehicles falling within the range of this initiative 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.
