Percentage of Equipment Estimated to Actually Contain the Defect: 100% 5. Description of the Defect: Takata has determined that a defect related to motor vehicle safety may arise in some of the subject ammonium nitrate passenger airbag inflators due to propellant degradation occurring after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures and high temperature cycling. Activation of a non-desiccated ammonium nitrate inflator with degraded propellant may result in an inflator rupture. Additionally, some of the driver airbag inflators show a pattern of propellant density reduction over time that may predict a future risk of inflator rupture. The potential for such ruptures may occur in some of the subject inflators after several years of exposure to persistent conditions of high absolute humidity. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants.
6. Chronology of Principal Events: The chronology will be supplemented. 7. Description of Corrective Action:
Nissan will notify all owners of affected vehicles by September 14, 2022. Dealers were notified on August 16, 2022. Owners of potentially affected vehicles that may have been repaired with the affected parts will be asked to bring their vehicle to an authorized Nissan dealer or Infiniti retailer to have their vehicle inspected. If a recalled part is installed, it will be replaced with a final remedy part, at no cost to owners for parts or labor. Additional dealers, distributors, or collision shops that purchased the affected parts will be notified beginning in August 2022. Replacement parts will be provided to purchasers free of charge. Your office will be provided with the final Part 577 owner notification. Nissan will include a statement in the Part 577 owner notification concerning reimbursement for the cost of obtaining a pre-notification remedy. 8. Copy of Notices: Copies of all notices will be provided to NHTSA as they become available.

INTERIM LETTER
IMPORTANT SAFETY RECALL
NHTSA Recall Number: 22E-065
November 16, 2022 Dear Proterra Powered Battery Pack Owner: This notice is sent to you in accordance with the requirements of the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act. This notice applies to certain battery packs, model S1-15, part # 129-6202, 139-6181, 163-3642. What is the reason for this notice? Proterra has decided that a defect that relates to motor vehicle safety exists in certain battery packs, where the joint connecting the voltage sense foil harness and the PCB adapter board lacks sufficient solder, resulting in a potentially weakened joint. A weakened joint may create an intermittent connectivity issue that causes the battery management system (“BMS”) to detect an erroneous voltage measurement which would lead to the BMS terminating power in order to isolate the battery pack from the remainder of the high voltage system on the vehicle. On a single-string battery pack application, the vehicle would experience the loss of propulsion if the BMS terminates power. Why is your equipment being recalled? Affected battery packs that are used in a single-string application are being recalled because the loss of propulsion could increase the risk of a crash without prior warning. Proterra will provide a repair of the components at no cost to you. We apologize for the inconvenience. We are committed to your safety, the safety of your customers, and your continued satisfaction with our
products, and we request that you remedy your bus(es) promptly. IMPORTANT • Your Proterra batteries are subject to NHTSA Safety Recall No. 22E-065 because a vehicle equipped with a defective battery may experience a loss of propulsion if the BMS terminates power due to a weakened joint in the voltage sense foil harness.
• Proterra is developing a remedy for the issue. Service instructions will be provided in a technical service bulletin after the remedy has been developed.
• The remedy will be provided free of charge.
• Contact Proterra’s customer service department at 864- 438-0000 or [email protected] if you have any questions. What will Proterra Do? The remedy is under development. A second notification letter with the proper instructions will be issued when the remedy become available. Service repair instructions will be provided in service campaign TBD. What Should You Do? Please stop driving vehicles equipped with the recalled batteries until the defect is remedied. What If You Have Already Repaired the Defect? If you have previously paid for a repair that addresses the defect described in this letter, you still need to have this recall performed by Proterra to ensure the correct remedy was applied. However, you may be eligible for a reimbursement of the previous repair. Please contact Proterra’s customer service team at 864-438-0000 or [email protected] to verify eligibility and process your reimbursement request. What If You Have Other Questions? Please contact Proterra’s customer service department at 864-438-0000 or [email protected] with any questions or concerns about this information. If, after contacting Proterra’s customer service department, you are still not satisfied we have done our best to remedy this condition without charge and within a reasonable time, you may wish to write the Administrator, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, 1200 New Jersey Avenue, SE, Washington, DC 20590, or call the toll-free Vehicle Safety Hotline at 1.888.327.4236 (TTY 1.800.424.9153), or go to http://www.safercar.gov.

YES ***** Campaign Summary ***** INFINITI is committed to the safety and security of our clients and their passengers. INFINITI has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it is recalling certain airbag inflator service parts that may have been installed in vehicles after the final recall remedy had been completed, as part of a subsequent theft or collision repair. The parts include certain Takata non- desiccated inflators for front passenger airbags, designed to fit 2002-2003 Infiniti QX4 and 2006- 2010 INFINITI M35/M45. Inflators that were previously recalled may have been inadvertently shipped to service inventory between December 9, 2016 and November 12, 2021 and may have been installed on vehicles as service parts. These inflators may rupture during a deployment due to propellant degradation occurring after long term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. Clients will receive an owner letter that will invite the owner to bring their vehicle to a retailer for inspection. If the vehicle is found to have a recalled air bag module, it will be replaced with a final remedy part. The remedy will be performed for the client free of charge for parts and labor. ***** What Retailers Should Do ***** 1. Verify if vehicles are affected by this Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign using Service Comm or DBS National Service History Campaign I.D. PC907, PC908, PC909. 2. Retailers must not wholesale, sell, lease, trade, rent or loan any vehicles in retailer inventory affected by this recall campaign until after the vehicle has been inspected and, if necessary, repaired. 3. Retailers should use the appropriate campaign repair bulletins (listed in the repair section
below) to remedy any vehicles subject to this campaign. 4. Retailers should have the client fill out the SRS Light Release form (attached) when both the Supplemental Restraint System (“SRS”) warning light is non-operational, flashing, or illuminated and the client refuses diagnosis and repair related to the SRS warning light.
• Additionally, if the client declines the recall repair or the vehicle is unrepairable, appropriately document the deferment reason as per IPSB19-362. NOTE: There is no need for the client to fill out the attached SRS Light Release form if the client agrees and the retailer conducts the diagnosis and repair. 5. Once repaired, retailers should submit the claim, using the claims coding provided, and release the vehicle. ***** Release Schedule ***** Parts Parts are not on restriction and may be ordered via normal process.

INFINITI will begin notifying owners of all potentially affected vehicles in September 14, 2022, via U.S. Mail. ***** Retailer Responsibility ***** It is the retailer’s responsibility to check Service Comm or DBS National Service History – Open Campaign using the appropriate Campaign I.D. for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall campaign, which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners and vehicles in retailer inventory. If a VIN subject to this recall campaign was part of a retailer trade, the letter associated with that VIN should be forwarded to the appropriate retailer for service completion. PC907, PC908, PC909 | Original Document Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Q: Is this a safety recall? A. Yes. Q What is the reason for the recall? A. Due to an issue in the parts replenishment system, inflators that were previously recalled may have been inadvertently shipped and installed on vehicles as service parts. These inflators may rupture during a deployment due to propellant degradation occurring after long term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. Q What is the possible effect of the condition? A If this condition occurs, it may increase the risk of injury to the front passenger-side occupant in the event of a crash, where air bag deployment is warranted. Q. What will be the corrective action? A. Retailers will inspect potentially affected vehicles that may have been repaired with the affected parts. If it is found that a recalled part is installed, it will be replaced with a final remedy part. Q. How long will the corrective action take? A. This service, which is conducted at no charge to you for parts and labor, could range from approximately one (1) hour to (3) hours to complete depending on the vehicle model. However, your INFINITI retailer may require your vehicle for a longer period of time based upon their work schedule. Q: Does this stop sale apply to previously owned vehicles? A. INFINITI strongly recommends retailers not sell previously owned vehicles affected by these recalls until remedied. Certain states have laws preventing the sale of previously owned vehicles with open safety recalls. Retailers must comply with all federal, state, and local laws regarding vehicle sales as they relate to open safety recalls. Q. These vehicles have already had parts replaced under a previous recall do they need to be remedied again? A. Yes. Although the vehicle has already been into the retailer to have the passenger airbag replaced under a previous recall, inflators that were previously recalled may have been inadvertently shipped to service inventory between December 9, 2016 and November 12,
PC907, PC908, PC909 | Original Document 2021 and may have been installed on vehicles as service parts. These inflators may rupture during a deployment due to propellant degradation occurring after long term exposure to high absolute humidity and temperature cycling. An inflator rupture may cause metal fragments to pass through the air bag and into the vehicle interior at high speed, which may result in injury or death to vehicle occupants. Q. How do I know if my vehicle has a problem with the front passenger airbag? A. If your vehicle is subject to this campaign, you will receive an Owner Notification letter from INFINITI. If you would like, I can check your vehicle identification number (VIN) right now to see if your vehicle is affected by a different recall. You may also search for open recall campaigns at https://www.infinitiusa.com/recalls-vin.html Q. When will vehicle owners be notified? A. INFINITI will begin notifying owners of all potentially affected vehicles in September 14, 2022 via U.S. Mail. Q. Is my vehicle safe to drive? A. INFINITI strongly urges clients to have this safety recall remedy performed as soon as possible. Please contact your retailer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. In the meantime, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat until a remedy is performed. Q. Is there anything owners can do to mitigate this condition? A. If you received a safety recall notice about the passenger front airbag, contact your retailer as soon as possible to schedule an appointment. In the meantime, do not allow passengers to ride in the front passenger seat until a remedy is performed. Q. Are parts readily available? A. Yes. Retailers may place orders for parts via the normal process. Q. Will a rental vehicle be provided while the retailer is servicing the vehicle? A. INFINITI may provide a courtesy vehicle for the client to use while their vehicle is being serviced. Courtesy vehicles are subject to availability and not guaranteed. Please check with your retailer for availability and further details. Rental is available while parts are on order if a courtesy vehicle is not available. EXPENSE CODE 502 DESCRIPTION

Q. Is there any charge for the repair? A. No. The remedy will be performed for the client free of charge for parts and labor. Q. Will I have to take my vehicle back to the selling retailer to have the service performed? A. No, any authorized INFINITI retailer is able to perform the voluntary safety recall campaign. For Consumer Affairs: Please inform us of the retailer where you would like to have the corrective action completed. Q. I have lost confidence in the vehicle. Will INFINITI replace or repurchase the vehicle? A. The remedy will fully correct this condition. As the condition will be corrected, there is no basis for repurchasing or replacing your vehicle. Q. What model year vehicles are involved? A. Certain model year 2006-2010 INFINITI M35/45 and certain model year 2003 INFINITI QX4. Q. Are you experiencing this condition on any other INFINITI (or Nissan) models? A. Yes. Certain model year 2002-2006 Nissan Sentra vehicles, certain model year 2007-2012 Nissan Versa vehicles, and certain model year 2001-2003 Nissan Maxima vehicles.

Description of the Defect : Takata has determined that a defect related to motor vehicle safety may arise in some of the subject ammonium nitrate passenger airbag inflators due to propellant degradation occurring after prolonged exposure to high absolute humidity, high temperatures and high temperature cycling. Activation of a non-desiccated ammonium nitrate inflator with degraded propellant may result in an inflator rupture. Additionally, some of the driver airbag inflators show a pattern of propellant density reduction over time that may predict a future risk of inflator rupture. The potential for such ruptures may occur in some of the subject inflators after several years of exposure to persistent conditions of high absolute humidity.
FMVSS 1 : NR FMVSS 2 : NR

Reference: IPSB/19-362
Date: June 6, 2019
Attention: Retailer Principal, Executive, Sales & Service Managers
INFORMATION: Instructions regarding Campaign Inspections and Corrections Documentation
Process. RECIPIENTS: All INFINITI Retailers (Dealer Principals, Executive Managers, Sales Managers, Service Directors/Managers, Sales Consultants, and Service Consultants).
TARGETED DEPARTMENTS:
• New Vehicle Sales
• Used Vehicle Sales
• Wholesale Purchase and Disposition
• Service Department SUMMARY:
Nissan North America, Inc. (NNA) is providing INSTRUCTIONS relating to the sales and service of new and used Nissan and INFINITI vehicles with open recall and service campaigns. Federal law prohibits the sale and/or delivery of new motor vehicles with open safety or emissions recalls. Certain State laws also prohibit or restrict the sale of used vehicles with open recalls or impose disclosure requirements. NNA strongly discourages the sale of used vehicles with an open recall. Due to the variance in state laws, Dealers should consult their legal counsel before selling used vehicles with open recalls. As a reminder, used vehicles with open campaigns cannot be certified under NNA’s Certified Pre- Owned (CPO) program. As provided in Section 5(B)(3) of the Nissan Dealer Sales and Service Agreement, “once Dealer has been notified that a recall or service campaign affects a particular class or type of Nissan Product, Dealer shall perform such campaign inspection(s) and/or corrections on all affected Nissan Products then in or which thereafter come into Dealer’s inventory or which are delivered for service…Dealer shall advise [NNA] as and when such campaign inspections and/or corrections are performed, in accordance with [NNA] Manuals or Instructions.” In accordance with the above, NNA provides the following on the service of Nissan/INFINITI vehicles with open campaigns: 1. When a Nissan or INFINITI vehicle is presented for service at a same brand store, the Dealer will check the VIN for any outstanding campaigns using Service Comm or National Service History Open Campaigns, inform the customer of any open recalls or service campaigns, and “promptly, courteously and efficiently perform such inspections and/or corrections.” 2. If the recall or service campaign cannot be completed during the aforementioned service visit, the Dealer will appropriately document the deferment reason, obtain a customer signature acknowledging the recall or service campaign deferment, and transmit the data to NNA as well as retain a copy for their own records. • Acceptable deferment reasons are:
1. Parts are on order
2. Parts or remedy not available from Manufacturer at this time
3. Customer declined
4. Scheduled future appointment
• Date:
5. Dealer resources not currently available
• Tech not certified
• Service bay or tools unavailable
6. Vehicle not repairable in present condition
• Document condition with photos
• Provide customer an estimate to bring vehicle to a repairable condition
• Notate customer acceptance or decline of necessary repairs
• Obtain customer signature acknowledging the above • Failure to do so and retain documentation of this process may be considered a violation of the Dealer Sales and Service Agreement, which may result in NNA pursuing any rights, claims, or remedies available to it under the Agreement or applicable law. • Dealers may document the deferment reasons using ICAR-X Service beginning June 10, 2019, which will electronically transmit data to NNA. If Dealer is not currently using ICAR-X Service, please complete the “Campaign Status Change Request” form included with this bulletin and send it to NNA along with any supporting photos, repair orders, or other supporting documentation.
