INTRODUCTION

Some 1997 Maxima sedans may have some wiper motor fixing bolts that are not tightened to the correct torque. Although this will not affect wiper function, it can result in excessive noise when the wipers are operated. To ensure customer satisfaction, Nissan has initiated a Voluntary Service Campaign to re-torque the four wiper motor fixing bolts of all affected vehicles.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Nissan has assigned identification number P7143 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.

NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED

Approximately 4,600

NOTE:
Some vehicles have had this campaign performed prior to dealer delivery.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

It is a dealer responsibility to check (with SERVICE-COMM) each vehicle falling within the range of this service campaign which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from your dealership, other Nissan dealerships, private parties, or vehicles presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in dealer inventory.

A campaign status report (sent under separate cover) will assist you in the identification of those vehicles involved in this service campaign that were either purchased from your dealership or are in your dealership inventory. Each dealership service department is encouraged to contact these vehicle owners to have the required inspections and repairs completed on their vehicle.

Due to the nature of this campaign, there is no need to order replacement parts to support the vehicle repair process.

SERVICE PROCEDURE





Torque the four wiper motor fixing bolts to 3.8-5.1 N.m (0.39-0.52 kg-m; 33.9-45.1 in-lb) in the numerical sequence shown in Figure 1.
