APPLIED VEHICLES:	2020 Altima (L34) – S Grade

 

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 2020 S Grade Altima’s with Continental ProContact TX tires, size 215/60R16 H, to inspect all four tires and, if necessary, replace the tires that match the inspection result criteria. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor.

 

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Nissan has assigned identification number PC764 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.

 

SERVICE PROCEDURE

1. Locate and identify the DOT Week Code of each tire (Figure 1 and Figure 2).

 

•  If the DOT Week Code is 3320, proceed to step 2.

 

• If the DOT Week Code is not 3320, the inspection result is OK and the vehicle may be released.

 

2. Locate and identify the tire mold ID of each tire (Figure 3 and Figure 4).

 

NOTE: Some tire mold numbers have a “S-“ and some mold numbers do not. Tire mold numbers without an “S-“ will show the number 228723 (Figure 5).

 

• If the tire mold ID is S-419149 and the DOT Week Code is 3320, proceed to step 3 on page 3.

 

• If the tire mold ID is not S-419149, the inspection result is OK and the vehicle may be released.

 

3. Replace each tire that has DOT Week Code 3320 and Mold ID S-419149 on the side of it.

 

• For tire replacement, refer to the Electronic Service Manual, section SUSPENSION > ROAD WHEELS & TIRES > REMOVAL AND INSTALLATION > WHEEL AND TIRE.

 

• Wheel nut torque: 113 Nꞏm (12 kg-m, 83 ft-lb.)

 

4. Using a 1/2” drill bit, drill two holes through the sidewall of the removed tire(s) and dispose of the tire(s) per local regulations.

 

5. Return the removed tire(s) using the shipping forms on pages 5 and 6.
