VOLUNTARY SAFETY/EMISSION RECALL CAMPAIGN 2021 Q50/Q60; ECM REPROGRAM
This bulletin has been amended. See AMENDMENT HISTORY on the last page. Discard all previous versions of this bulletin.
| CAMPAIGN ID #: | R20C5 |
| APPLIED VEHICLES: | 2021 Q50 (V37)
2021 Q60 (CV37) |
Check Service COMM or Dealer Business Systems (DBS) National Service History to confirm campaign eligibility.
INTRODUCTION
Infiniti is conducting this voluntary safety and emission recall campaign, on certain specific model year 2021 Q50 and Q60 vehicles, to reprogram the ECM. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Infiniti has assigned identification number R20C5 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communication and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.
RETAILER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the retailer’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 and emission 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 retailer’s inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in retailer 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, Infiniti strongly encourages retailers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.
IMPORTANT
Attention California Dealers
An Emission Recall Campaign Completion (ERCC) label must be filled out by the technician performing the repair, and then attached to the underside of the vehicle hood. A sample of the label is shown below.
California law prohibits owners from renewing their California registration if emissions related recall work has not been performed. California dealers are now required to issue a proof of correction certificate to vehicle owners upon completion of emissions related recall work. Please fill out one of the campaign completion forms for each owner that has this campaign performed. Instruct owners to keep this certificate unless they are requested to mail it to the DMV. A sample of the form is shown in Figure 2 below.
NOTE:
- These forms (item number CAEMRC 1-20) and labels (item number NIS-UHL-16) are available from Nissan Publications (1-800-247-5321) at no charge.
- When either item (form or label) is ordered, you will automatically receive the other item as well.
SERVICE PROCEDURE
- Using C-III plus, confirm the current ECM part number and write it on the repair order.
- If it matches one of the part numbers in Table A, continue to step 2 on page 4 to reprogram the ECM.
- If there is not a match, no repair is needed. Go to CLAIMS INFORMATION on page 4.
