INTRODUCTION
Some Model Year 2008 - 2009 Rogue, 2009 Murano, and 2009 cube(R) vehicles may have been built with Tire Pressure Monitor System (TPMS) transmitter nuts that were not manufactured to specification. Over time, these nuts may corrode and potentially crack, especially in areas where heavy concentrations of road salt are used. For those vehicles located at dealerships or registered to owners in States that do not use a heavy concentration of road salt, Nissan is conducting this Voluntary Service Campaign. The service campaign repair entails replacement of the TPMS transmitter nuts at no charge for parts or labor.
Non-Salt States (States that do not regularly use road salt in the winter) Alabama, Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Idaho, Kansas, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Oregon, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, Washington, and Wyoming.
Separately, Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign for vehicles located at dealerships or registered to owners in States that use heavy concentrations of road salt in the winter. Owners of vehicles affected by that campaign will receive separate owner instructions. The vehicles located at dealerships or registered in the above listed "Non-Salt States" are subject only to the Voluntary Service Campaign, not the Safety Recall Campaign.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number P9241 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.

SERVICE PROCEDURE
NOTE:
Perform the following steps for all four wheels/tires.
1. Position the valve stem to the lower area (between the 4 and 8 o'clock position).
2. Clean dirt and debris from around the valve stem.
3. Remove the TPMS transmitter nut.
^ Use a 1/4 drive deep 12 mm socket.
4. Install a new transmitter nut.
5. VERY IMPORTANT: Use a small torque wrench to tighten the transmitter nut.
Torque specification: 7.7 Nm (0.79 kg-m, 68 in-lb).
6. Check for leak around the valve stem.
^ Apply soapy water around the valve stem.
^ Use mild liquid hand soap mixed approximately 80% water and 20% soap.
^ Wait a minimum of five minutes and then visually inspect to see if bubbles are forming around the base of the valve stem.
^ If you see bubbles, there may be an air leak.
NOTE:
This bulletin does not cover repairs for air leaks. If you discover an air leak, repair as needed with usual warranty repair procedures.
7. Adjust the tire pressure to the correct setting.
^ For factory equipped tires, the tire pressure correct "Cold" setting is listed on the "Tire and Loading Information" placard (see example in Figure 4).
