VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN
1992-1993 MAXIMA AIRBAG SENSOR REPLACEMENT

AUTHORIZATION

Nissan Motor Co., Ltd., Tokyo, Japan. authorizes Nissan Motor Corporation, U.S.A. (NMC) to conduct a recall campaign on certain 1992 and early 1993 Nissan Maxima passenger sedans.

INTRODUCTION

Nissan has decided to implement a field service action to replace the air bag tunnel sensor on certain Maxima models. Although the system is operating properly as designed, a new replacement sensor for the air bag system will be installed to reduce the potential inconvenience and cost associated with the inflation of an air bag when it is not needed and to reduce the risk of minor injury to the driver from an inflating air bag. Approval has been obtained from NHTSA to proceed with this action and report it as a voluntary safety recall. This will help maintain the high level of consumer satisfaction and confidence in the safety of the Maxima.

All owners of Nissan Maximas built before September 14, 1992 will be notified by a letter. A copy of the letter is included with this bulletin.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS

Nissan has assigned identification number 94V-007 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.

NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED: Approximately 65,000.
