VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN
2012-2013 ALTIMA
TRANSVERSE LINK AND POWER STEERING RACK BOLTS
CAMPAIGN I.D. # PC182
APPLIED VEHICLE: 2012 Altima Sedan (L32)
2013 Altima Sedan (L33)
INTRODUCTION
On certain 2012 and 2013 Nissan Altima vehicles, the front suspension transverse link bolts and power steering rack bolts may not have been tightened to specification. This condition could cause the bolts to become loose while the vehicle is being driven. To prevent this potential condition, Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign to replace and/or tighten (see next page) the transverse link bolts and power steering rack bolts to the specified value at no charge for parts or labor.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC182 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealers responsibility to check the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary 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 dealers inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a 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.
