INTRODUCTION
Nissan has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 2007 and 2008 Model year Nissan Sentra vehicles. The master cylinder assembly may have been manufactured out of specification. In some cases, this may lead to a brake fluid leak. If the amount of brake fluid in the reservoir drops, the brake warning light will illuminate on the dash indicating low brake fluid level. If driven for an extended period time in this condition, the vehicle could experience longer stopping distances than normal, which could result in a crash. To remedy this potential condition, Nissan is conducting this Voluntary Recall Campaign to inspect, and if necessary, replace the brake master cylinder at no charge for parts or labor.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PM813 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.
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 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.
