INTRODUCTION
Nissan is conducting this voluntary emissions recall campaign, on certain specific model
year 2013-2017 NV200 and 2014-2017 NV200 TAXI vehicles, to reprogram the ECM. This
service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number R21B3 to this campaign. This number must
appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealer’s responsibility to check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS)
National Service History for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of
this voluntary emissions recall which for any reason enters the service department. This
includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners
and vehicles in a dealer’s inventory. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties. Nissan
strongly encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are
retailed.

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.

California law prohibits owners from renewing their California registration if emissions related
recall work has not been performed. California dealers are now required to issue a proof of
correction certificate to vehicle owners upon completion of emissions related recall work.
Please fill out one of the campaign completion forms for each owner that has this campaign
performed. Instruct owners to keep this certificate unless they are requested to mail it to the
DMV. A sample of the form is shown in Figure 2 below.
