DBS National Service History - Open Campaign I.Ds:
 PC734 – Titan, NV Passenger Van
 PM940 – Sentra, NV200, NV200 Taxi
 P0A05 – GT-R, Armada
 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
2. Dealers are requested to repair any affected vehicles in retailer new or pre-owned inventory
to ensure customer satisfaction.
3. Dealers should use NTB20-021 to correct any vehicles subject to this campaign.
