INTRODUCTION
Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign on certain specific model year
2022-2023 Pathfinder and 2021-2023 Rogue vehicles to inspect, and if necessary, replace
the Driver’s Seat Rail. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts
or labor.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification numbers PC966 and PC980 to this campaign. The
applicable 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 safety 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. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer
inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be corrected prior to sale.
Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration. While federal law applies only to new vehicles, Nissan strongly
encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.
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.
