INTRODUCTION

Some 1996 Infiniti I30 vehicles are experiencing incidents involving certain parts of the emission control system which are causing the malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate. To ensure customer satisfaction, Infiniti is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign to replace certain emission control parts with improved parts at no charge to the customer. These parts include the oxygen sensors and the vent control valve. A water separator kit for the evaporative emission control system will also be installed if the vehicle does not have one. In addition, the vapor canister will be inspected and replaced if necessary in non-sunbelt states, and the vent control valve will be replaced in sunbelt states. Use Service Comm. to determine which repairs need to be performed on each vehicle.

Infiniti has assigned identification numbers P8131 & P8151 to this campaign. These numbers must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this Campaign.

NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED

The number of vehicles potentially affected is approximately 40,000.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

It is a dealer's responsibility to correct each vehicle falling within the range of this campaign which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in dealers inventory.
