APPLIED VEHICLE: 2013 – 2014 NV200 (M20) SERVICE INFORMATION Nissan North America is continuously working to improve the satisfaction of our customers. It has been brought to our attention that a small number of customers have reported a perceived early tire wear on the shoulders of one or more of the original equipment tires. While such wear might typically indicate an alignment or inflation issue, in the case of the NV200 Compact Cargo this phenomenon may instead be normal wear related to the styling of the tire tread pattern. Any appearance of tire wear should be judged in accordance with the information provided in the NV200 Compact Cargo Owner’s Manual page 8-39 “Tread Wear Indicators.” Likewise, proper alignment and inflation should be confirmed by the dealer as necessary. The NV200 Compact Cargo is equipped with special high load index 94 tires to carry a payload of up to 1,500 lbs. (680 kg), as indicated on the Tire Placard located in the driver’s door area. The original equipment tire is available as a genuine Nissan replacement part. Customers choosing to apply an alternative replacement tire should take note of the information provided on the Tire Placard, the NV200 Compact Cargo Owner’s manual page 8-39 “Replacing wheels and tires,” and in the “Important Tire Safety Information” section of the Warranty Information Booklet. Some aftermarket replacement tires may have lower load index ratings. Use of tires with a lower load index rating results in a reduced max payload capacity for your vehicle. Please refer to the replacement tire manufacturer’s usage recommendations and tire pressure information for further details. NOTE: Please see page 2 for examples of good tires and points where to measure tires. Nissan Bulletins are intended for use by qualified technicians, not 'do-it-yourselfers'. Qualified technicians are properly trained individuals who have the equipment, tools, safety instruction, and know-how to do a job properly and safely. NOTE: If you believe that a described condition may apply to a particular vehicle, DO NOT assume that it does. See your Nissan dealer to determine if this applies to your vehicle. 1/2 Figure 1 is an example of a new tire that has little or no wear. Figure 2 is an example of a good tire that has some wear, but is still above the wear limit. Some tread grooves are gone, but tread depth is still good. See Figure 3.
