INTRODUCTION

Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign on certain select model year 2010 Nissan Altima Sedans. A small number of vehicles may have welds on the front side member that are out of specification. To address this, Nissan will inspect, and if necessary, repair the front side member welds at no charge for parts or labor.

NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED

Approximately 48 vehicles are affected by this campaign.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Nissan has assigned identification number PC046 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.
