***** Campaign Summary *****
Nissan is conducting a voluntary service campaign on certain MY2011-13 Nissan Juke vehicles to
replace the engine timing chain. Nissan began notifying affected owners in May 2014, asking
them to bring their vehicle to an authorized dealer on or before October 30, 2015 so that the
campaign may be performed.
As an additional customer satisfaction measure, Nissan has elected to extend this voluntary
service campaign until April 29th, 2016 to allow customers additional opportunity to have their
vehicles remedied. For vehicles subject to this campaign which are presented to an authorized
dealer on or before April 29th, 2016, Nissan will replace the timing chain, chain guides and crank
sprocket at no charge to the customer for parts and labor. Nissan also intends to remind owners
of affected vehicles that they have not yet had the campaign performed.
Nissan is committed to a high level of customer safety, service and satisfaction and is working with
dealers to provide an outstanding ownership experience to Juke owners.
***** What Dealers Should Do****
1. Verify if vehicles are affected by this Voluntary Service Campaign using Service Comm I.D.
P4213.
2. Dealers can continue to schedule and repair vehicles eligible for this service campaign until April
29th, 2016.
3. Dealers should submit any open claims for the timing chain replacement under this campaign by
April 29th, 2016. Claims submitted after this date will be rejected.
4. Dealers should also review their suspended claims and make the required corrections to ensure
claims payment prior to the new campaign expiration date.

campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary service campaign which for
any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
Q.

Is this a safety recall?

A.

No, this is a service campaign being conducted for customer satisfaction purposes.

Q.

What is the reason for this voluntary service campaign?

A.

In some of the affected vehicles, the timing chain may deteriorate over time and distort. If this
occurs, the “Check Engine” warning lamp will illuminate. If the warning lamp is ignored, over
time the chain could break.

Q.

What is the possible effect of the condition?

A.

If the warning lamp is ignored, the timing chain can break resulting in significant engine
damage, which will require engine replacement to repair.

Q.

What will be the corrective action?

A.

For vehicles subject to this campaign which are presented to an authorized dealer on or before
April 29th, 2016, Nissan will replace the timing chain, chain guides and crank sprocket at no
charge to the customer for parts and labor. Vehicles presented for repair after this date will not
be covered by this service campaign and any repair will be performed at customer expense if the
vehicle’s warranty has expired.
