Recall 07V599000: Tire Pressure Monitor Function

MAKE/MODELS: MODEL/BUILD YEARS:

Nissan/Altima 2007-2008

MANUFACTURER: Nissan North America, Inc.

NHTSA CAMPAIGN ID NUMBER: 07V599000

MFR'S REPORT DATE: December 18, 2007

COMPONENT: Electrical System: Ignition: Module

POTENTIAL NUMBER OF UNITS AFFECTED: 114

SUMMARY:
On certain passenger vehicles that have had the Body Control Module (BCM) replaced during service at a dealership, the Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) may have been inadvertently deactivated due to an issue with the dealer service software. If the TPMS is turned off, it would not alert the driver to a decrease in the tire pressure as designed.

CONSEQUENCE:
Driving on under-inflated tires is unsafe and could result in a crash.

REMEDY:
Dealers will check the TPMS function and reactivate it if necessary. The recall is expected to begin during January 2008. Owners may contact Nissan at 1-800-647-7261.
