SERVICE CAMPAIGN CAMPAIGN BULLETIN Air Bag Control Unit Reprogram Voluntary Service Campaign Reference: P7318 Date: January 5, 2018 Attention: Dealer Principal, Sales, Service & Parts Managers UPDATE January 5, 2018 The announcement from October 6, 2017 has been revised: Dealers may now use revised TSB NTB17-070 to resume repair of 2004-2006 model year vehicles. Please discard previous versions of this bulletin Affected Models/Years: Affected Population: MY2004-14 Titan (A60) 126,728 MY2005-14 Frontier (D40) 300,003 MY2005-14 Xterra (N50) 121,404 Dealer Inventory: SERVICE COMM Activation date: Stop Sale In Effect NA June 23, 2017 NO ***** Campaign Summary ***** Nissan is committed to customer satisfaction. Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign to reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) in 2004-2014 Titan, 2005-2014 Frontier, and 2005-2014 Xterra vehicles. The current ACU rollover-sensing calibration logic could allow for unintended curtain air bag deployment in rare instances occurring under certain unique driving scenarios, usually involving unpaved roads or off-road where one side of the vehicle is higher than the other. The ACU reprogramming will improve rollover-sensing calibration to address certain unique driving scenarios, and help prevent unintended curtain air bag deployment, while maintaining the design intent for deployment in rollover crashes. Owners of affected vehicles began being notified beginning in June 2017 and were asked to bring their vehicle to an authorized Nissan dealer to have the remedy work completed at no cost to the owner. ***** What Dealers Should Do ***** 1. Verify if vehicles are affected by this Voluntary Service Campaign using Service Comm or DBS National Service History – Open Campaigns I.D. P7318. 2. Dealers are requested to repair any affected vehicles in dealer new or pre-owned inventory to ensure customer satisfaction. 3. Dealers should use NTB17-070 or NTB17-071 to correct any vehicles subject to this campaign. CAMPAIGN ID: P7318 | Revision 3 4. Once repaired, dealers should submit the claim, using the claims coding provided, and release the vehicle. ***** Release Schedule ***** Parts Repair Dealers will reprogram the air bag control unit (ACU) with updated software. Parts are only needed in the event of control unit failure during reprogramming NTB17-070 or NTB17-071 Owner Notification Nissan began notifying owners of all potentially affected vehicles in June 2017 via U.S. Mail. ***** Airbag Deployment Claims Information ***** If the vehicle has incurred an unintended curtain airbag deployment damage as a result of this campaign, repairs can be performed under the campaign. However, preapproval is required before initiating repairs. Contact the Warranty claims call center 1-800-258-7008 Option 7 Dealers will need to be prepared to provide the following information to the warranty claims call center for approval: 1. Confirmation the vehicle was not involved in an accident, does not have exterior damage, or show signs of recent body repair that would have resulted in a rollover curtain airbag deployment. Have pictures available if needed 2. Confirmation that P7318 campaign is open on the VIN in question 3. Confirmation that a rollover deployment code was stored in the Airbag Control Unit (ACU). ***** Dealer’s Responsibility ***** It is the dealer’s responsibility to check Service Comm or DBS National Service History using the appropriate Campaign I.D. for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary service 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 dealer inventory. If a VIN subject to this voluntary service campaign was part of a dealer trade, the letter associated with that VIN should be forwarded to the appropriate dealer for service completion. NISSAN NORTH AMERICA, INC. Aftersales DIVISION Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ): Q. Is this a Stop Sale? A. No. Q. Is this a safety recall? A. No, but it is important that all vehicles subject to this service campaign be remedied, when entering the service department for any reason.

The current Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) rollover-sensing calibration logic could allow for unintended curtain air bag deployment in rare instances occurring under certain unique driving scenarios, usually involving unpaved roads or off-road where one side of the vehicle is higher than the other. Q. What will be the corrective action? A. Dealers will reprogram the Air Bag Control Unit (ACU) with updated software. The ACU reprogramming will improve rollover-sensing calibration to address certain unique driving scenarios, and help prevent unintended rollover curtain air bag deployment, while maintaining the design intent for deployment in rollover crashes. Q. I have previously paid to replace the rollover curtain air bag in my vehicle because of unintended deployment and the repair was not covered by Nissan. Am I eligible for reimbursement? A. If you have previously replaced the rollover curtain air bag in your vehicle because of unintended deployment and Nissan did not cover the repair, please visit www.NissanAssist.com, download the Reimbursement Claim Form, and follow the instructions on the website once you have gathered the following necessary documentation: Repair order(s) Proof of payment [may be on repair order(s)] Proof of vehicle ownership if repair is over $1,000 Q.
