INTRODUCTION
Nissan has determined that a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety exists in some 2007 and 2008 model year Nissan Altima vehicles. The vehicles affected by this campaign had the Body Control Module (BCM) replaced during service at a Nissan dealership after October 1, 2007 and before November 30, 2007. During that service, 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. Driving on under-inflated tires is unsafe and could result in a crash. To correct this potential condition Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign to check the TPMS function and reactivate it if necessary.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number P7267 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this Campaign.
NUMBER OF VEHICLES POTENTIALLY AFFECTED
The number of vehicles potentially affected by this campaign is approximately 115.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealer's responsibility to check Service Comm for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety 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. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer 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, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.
