INTRODUCTION
Nissan has determined that on some 2003, 2004, and 2005 model year Nissan Sentra vehicles with 1.8 liter engine and some 2005 and 2006 Frontier vehicles with 2.5 liter engine there is a possibility that the program in the Engine Control Module (ECM) may lead to the improper operation of the evaporative emission control system. To prevent this potential condition from occurring, Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Emissions Recall Campaign to reprogram the Engine Control Module (ECM).
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number R0803 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealers responsibility to check Service Comm for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary emissions 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.
IMPORTANT
Attention California Dealers: 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 emission 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 above.
NOTE:
These forms are available from Nissan Publications at no charge (item number CAEMRC-2/09).
