Titan vehicles to reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit. This service will be performed at no
charge to the customer for parts or labor.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC977 to this campaign. This number must appear
on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.

Dealers are to repair vehicles falling within range of this campaign 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.

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.
