INTRODUCTION Nissan is conducting this voluntary safety recall campaign on certain specific model year 2013-2016 Pathfinder vehicles, to inspect clean and lubricate, and if necessary, replace the Hood Lock Assembly and/or the Secondary Latch. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Nissan has assigned identification number R22A2 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. 2/8 NTB22-053 REPAIR OVERVIEW Yes Check movement of the Hood Lock Assembly and the Secondary Latch.
