***** Campaign Summary *****
INFINITI is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign to reprogram the engine control module (ECM)
with countermeasure software in certain INFINITI 2019 model year Q70 and QX80 vehicles. The
current software installed may allow the Variable Valve Timing (VVT) solenoid valve diagnosis to
continue to draw current when the engine is off. This condition may result in a reduction of the
battery life.
***** What Retailers 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. P0A06
 New vehicles in retailer inventory can also be identified through the attached VIN list or by
using DBS (Sales-> Vehicle Inventory, and filter by Open Campaign).
 Refer to IPSB 15-286 for additional information
 Please continue to check newly arriving inventory for campaign applicability.

2. Retailers are requested to repair any affected vehicles in retailer new or pre-owned inventory to
ensure client satisfaction.
3. Retailers should use ITB20-013 to correct any vehicles subject to this campaign.
4. Once repaired, retailers should submit the claim, using the claims coding provided, and release the
vehicle.
***** Release Schedule *****
