VOLUNTARY SAFETY RECALL CAMPAIGN 2007-2012 VERSA; DRIVER & FRONT PASSENGER
AIR BAG INFLATOR INSPECTION
CAMPAIGN ID #: PC904
APPLIED VEHICLES: 2007-2011 Versa Sedan (C11)
2007-2012 Versa Hatchback (C11)
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 2007-2012 Versa vehicles to inspect and, if necessary, replace the driver and/or front passenger Air Bag inflators. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor.
TK Services and RXO Logistics have issued return packaging, shipping labels, documents, and directions that must be used and followed in order to properly carry out this campaign. Information on this documentation is provided in this bulletin. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC904 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. REQUIRED SPECIAL TOOLS Additional tools can be obtained from Tech•Mate at www.techmatetools.com or 1-833-397-3493.
HINT: When ordering, keep in mind that the tool part number prefix has changed from “J” to “NI”. For example, J-51315 is now NI-51315. Air Bag Module Support (J-51315)
