INTRODUCTION

Some 1996 Nissan Maxima vehicles are experiencing incidents involving certain parts of the emission control system which are causing the malfunction indicator light (MIL) to illuminate. To ensure customer satisfaction, Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign to replace certain emission control parts with improved parts at no charge to the customer. These parts include the oxygen sensors and the vent control valve. A water separator kit for the evaporative emission control system will also be installed if the vehicle does not have one. In addition, the vapor canister will be inspected and replaced if necessary in non-sunbelt states and the vent control valve in sunbelt states. California emissions vehicles can be identified with the under-hood label.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Nissan has assigned identification numbers P8132 & P8152 to this campaign. These numbers must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this Campaign.

NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED

The total number of vehicles potentially affected is approximately 150,000.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

It is a dealer's responsibility to correct each vehicle falling within the range of this 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 dealers inventory.
