Service bulletin NTB-23-052

A bulletin is a manufacturer's communication to its dealers, as NHTSA indexes it. The summary is NHTSA's. The document is the manufacturer's: read it at NHTSA. A bulletin is not a recall, and listing a model year does not mean every vehicle of it is concerned.

NTB00042D	2021-05-10. Service bulletin. SERVICE INFORMATION Changes or modifications to the front seat assembly trim materials may affect the proper operation of the Front Seat-Mounted Side-Impact Supplemental Air Bags and Passenger Occupant Classification Sensor and could result in serious personal injury or death. Nissan STRONGLY RECOMMENDS AGAINST making any change to seat trim materials from the factory equipped condition. This specifically applies to replacing the seat trim with non-factory materials; adding leather/cloth seat covers, seat pads, or seat storage pouches, etc. around or over the seat back and the passenger seat cushion. See this bulletin for further detail.

Nissan Aftersale	2019-02-19. Service bulletin. Subject: Takata Completion Objectives for Q4 Nissan is continuing to ask its dealers to urgently help increase customer participation in the Takata recalls and to help it achieve 100% customer recall participation for the following vehicles: - 2007-11 Versa Sedan - 2007-12 Versa Hatchback - 2002-06 Sentra - 2002-04 Pathfinder - 2001-03 Maxima Nissan expects to upload the next refreshed owner list to DBS by the middle of February. At the time of monthly updates, we reassign owner lists based on dealer buy/sells. We anticipate having this automated within DBS by the end of the fiscal year. This is an extremely serious safety issue and Nissan is taking significant and unprecedented steps to increase customer recall participation but it needs dealer help to achieve its remedy goals. A separate communication will be released later this week informing regional personnel of the requirements for bonus payout in Q4. The Q4 objective is based on the average number of repairs in Q3 multiplied by the number of service days in Q4 (Mon-Sat minus any holidays). Dealer engagement is critical with this effort. It is a company-wide responsibility to make it a priority to replace these dangerous airbag inflators in affected vehicles. Further, increasing recall participation represents significant gross profit opportunity for our dealers. Regional personnel can access current completions via the tableau Takata tracker (https://tableau.na.nissan.biz/#/site/SLSMKG/views/TakataCampaignReport/TakataCampaign?:iid=3 ). Q4 objectives will be updated by the end of the week in the tableau Takata tracker, but current overall completion rates are included above.
NPSB18-382 - Tak	2019-01-07. Service bulletin. Dealer Engagement for Takata Awareness Nissan is committed to the safety and security of its customers and their passengers. As you are likely aware, Nissan has initiated multiple field actions to execute the Takata Airbag Recall in accordance with the schedule set by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA). Nissan has employed a variety of methods to reach affected customers to increase repair completion. However, your help is needed to raise awareness to remedy the approximately seven hundred thousand vehicles that remain unrepaired. This is a serious issue and we need everyone?s help to further increase recall awareness. Nissan is asking all dealers to provide their employees with instructions on how to identify vehicles affected by the Takata airbag recall and encourage them to help draw an affected owner?s attention to this danger. Your employee?s actions could save someone?s life or prevent a significant injury. Supporting Materials To assist with this request, each dealer will receive thirty ?Takata Airbag Recall Alert Cards? by December 5, 2018. Each ?Alert Card? has eight (8) individual tear off cards (written in English and Spanish) that can be distributed to owners to make them aware of how to check their vehicle for an open Takata recall, and of the importance of having the repair performed. To facilitate identification of affected vehicles, your employees can download the free Airbag Recall App from the App Store or Google Play. This app will work for any brand vehicle affected by the Takata recall, and will inform your employees if any of the affected vehicles listed below have an open Takata recall. Affected Vehicles: - NISSAN: - 2001-2003 Maxima - 2002-2004 Pathfinder - 2002-2006 Sentra - 2007-2011 Versa Sedan - 2007-2012 Versa Hatchback - INFINITI: - 2001 I30 - 2002-2004 I35 - 2002-2003 QX4 - 2003-2008 FX35/45 - 2006-2010 M35/45
