Check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS)
National Service History to confirm campaign eligibility.

INTRODUCTION
Nissan is conducting this voluntary emissions recall campaign on certain specific model
year 2018-2019 Titan XD vehicles equipped with a diesel engine, to reprogram the Engine
Control Module (ECM). This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for
parts or labor.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PD129 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. 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.
