INTRODUCTION

Nissan has determined that some 2007 and 2008 model Altima vehicles are equipped with an improperly functioning on-board emission-related diagnostic system that violates California standards and regulations. This condition may result in failure of the on-board diagnostic system to warn a driver that the catalytic converter is malfunctioning. To correct this condition, Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign to reprogram the Engine Control Module (engine computer). If this repair is not completed, affected vehicles may fail an emission inspection or I/M smog check test.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Nissan has assigned identification number R0801 to this campaign. This number 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 by this campaign is approximately 67,700.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

It is the dealer's responsibility to check Service Comm 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.





IMPORTANT
Attention California Dealers: California law prohibits owners from renewing their California registration if emissions related recall work has not been performed. California dealers are now required to issue a proof of correction certificate to vehicle owners upon completion of emission related recall work. Please fill out one of the campaign completion forms for each owner that has this campaign performed. Instruct owners to keep this certificate unless they are requested to mail it to the DMV. A sample of the form is shown above.

NOTE:
These forms are available from Nissan Publications under part number CAEMRC05 at no charge.
