1/8 Classification: Reference: Date: BT21-014 NTB21-084 September 13, 2021 VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 2022 PATHFINDER; SECONDARY HOOD LATCH BRACKET CAMPAIGN ID #: PC840 APPLIED VEHICLES: 2022 Pathfinder (R53) Check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS) National Service History to confirm campaign eligibility. INTRODUCTION Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign, on certain specific model year 2022 Pathfinder vehicles, to inspect and, if necessary, replace the Secondary Hood Latch Bracket. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Nissan has assigned identification number PC840 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign. DEALER RESPONSIBILITY It is the dealer’s responsibility to check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS) National Service History 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. Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not ‘do-it-yourselfers’. Qualified technicians are properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle. 2/8 NTB21-084 SERVICE PROCEDURE Inspect the Secondary Hood Latch Bracket 1.
