Attention: Dealer Principal, Sales, Service & Parts Managers
| IMPORTANT: It is a violation of Federal law for retailers to sell or deliver vehicles in their inventory covered by this notification until the campaign action is performed. |
| Affected Models/Years: | Affected Population: | Dealer Inventory: | SERVICE COMM Activation date: | Stop Sale In Effect |

***** Campaign Summary *****
Nissan is committed to the safety and security of our customers and their passengers. Nissan has notified the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) that it is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign on a limited number of MY2013-15 Nissan Altima, MY2015-16 Nissan Rogue, and MY2016 Nissan Maxima vehicles to replace the Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) with a new unit.
Due to supplier labelling error that has since been corrected, an incorrect OCS ECU module may have been installed in the front passenger seat of some of the affected vehicles, resulting in the incorrect pairing of ECU-to-seat. With this configuration, the OCS may not perform as designed due to software incompatibility and may not classify a seated front passenger seat occupant correctly. This could cause the passenger airbag to not deploy as designed in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Owners of affected vehicles will be notified within sixty (60) days asking them to bring their vehicle to an authorized Nissan retailer to have their vehicle’s OCS ECU replaced.
***** What Dealers Should Do****
- Verify if vehicles are affected by these Voluntary Safety Recall Campaigns using the following Service Comm I.Ds:
- PC523 – Altima and Maxima
- PC526 – Rogue
- New vehicles in dealer inventory can be also be identified using DCS (Sales-> Vehicle Inventory, and filter by Open Campaign).
- Refer to NPSB 15-460 for additional information
- New vehicles in dealer inventory can be also be identified using DCS (Sales-> Vehicle Inventory, and filter by Open Campaign).
| Note: If a vehicle is affected by both R1609 and PC523 or PC526 and the R1609 remedy has not yet been performed, campaign PC523 or PC526 should be performed first. |
- Dealers should not sell, lease, trade, rent or loan any vehicles in dealer inventory affected by this recall campaign until after the vehicle has been repaired.
- Dealers will use the procedure included with this announcement to replace the OCS control unit with the correct service part and reprogram with the latest OCS software.
- If a retailed vehicle affected by these campaign ID visits the dealer for service, the dealer should inform the customer about the recall campaign and communicate that parts may need to be ordered. Rental is covered under the campaign if parts need to be ordered.

***** Dealer Responsibility *****
It is the dealer’s responsibility to check Service Comm 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 dealer inventory. If a VIN subject to this recall campaign was part of a dealer trade, the letter associated with that VIN should be forwarded to the appropriate dealer for service completion.

| Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): |
|---|
Q. Is this a safety recall?
A. Yes, a Stop Sale is in effect.
Q. What is the reason for safety recall?

Q. What is the possible effect of the condition?
A. With this configuration, the OCS may not perform as designed due to software incompatibility and may not classify a seated front passenger seat occupant correctly. This could cause the passenger airbag to not deploy as designed in a crash, increasing the risk of injury.
Q. What will be the corrective action for this voluntary safety recall campaign?
A. For affected vehicles, Nissan dealers will replace the Occupant Classification System (OCS) Electronic Control Unit (ECU) and reprogram it with the latest OCS software at no cost to you for parts and labor.
| Note: If a vehicle is affected by both R1609 and PC523 or PC526 and the R1609 remedy has not yet been performed, campaign PC523 or PC526 should be performed first. |
Q. How long will the corrective action take?
A. The remedy should take less than one (1) hour to complete. However, the Nissan dealer may require a longer period of time based upon their work schedule. All services will be provided at no cost to the customer for parts and labor.
Q. When will vehicle owners be notified?

J2534-1 Re/Programming
Tutorial for Purchasing NERS Software
Software updated April 26, 2019 to version # 04.03.00. It is recommended the latest version of NERS be installed before connecting to a vehicle.
This NERS software supports reprogrammable Engine and Transmission control units from 1999 to 2019 model year vehicles, and 2005 MY and later VIN writing into ECUs, when using a Nissan validated pass-through device. Click the Reprogramming Tab for additional information on reprogramming. This software only provides ECU reprogramming, blank programming and VIN writing capability. It does not provide diagnostic or key programming capability. For Engine and Transmission control unit reprogramming and VIN writing capability on 2020 MY & newer, please use CONSULT-III plus or CONSULT-III plus R2R software.
Vehicle reprogramming requires the use of the following:
- Nissan validated J2534-1 device
- Nissan ECU Reprogramming Software (NERS)
- Personal computer running Windows XP (SP2 or later) or Windows 7 or 10 64Bit
- Applicable reprogram file
Nissan tested and validated the below listed devices. Nissan does not recommend the use of any other J2534-1 device not listed here.
