2013-18 Altima H2022-02-09. Service bulletin. COMMUNICATION; EXTERIOR LIGHTING; EQUIPMENT:OTHER:OWNERS/SERVICE/OTHER MANUAL. Halogen Headlamp Warranty Extension Campaign Summary: On or around October 25, 2021, current and former owners and lessees of certain 2013-2018 Altima vehicles received a postcard from a Settlement Administrator informing them of the terms of a proposed class action settlement that, subject to final court approval, could extend the warranty on the halogen headlamps. The class action lawsuit alleges that 2013-18 Altima models manufactured with halogen headlamps have a defect that causes the internal reflecting surface to delaminate, resulting in dimming of the low beam headlamps. The proposed settlement has been approved by the court presiding over the class action lawsuit, providing a 3-year extension of the warranty covering headlamp dimming due to delamination. The limited warranty extension will become effective January 20, 2022. Nissan will provide a 3-year extension of the manufacturer’s warranty covering headlamp dimming due to the delamination, for a total of six (6) years of coverage. During this limited warranty extension period, Nissan will replace both headlamps at no charge for parts and labor. All other warranty terms, limitations, and conditions remain unchanged.
