IF YOU CONFIRM:
Squeal/Squeak noise from the front brakes:
 While moving forward or reverse
 With very light brake application (pedal pressure)
 After the vehicle has been sitting, typically overnight (“cold” brakes)
 At speeds less than 10 MPH
 While traveling straight or turning
NOTE: This is intended to be a partial list of examples of the types of conditions
when you may be able to duplicate front wheel brake squeal/squeak. When
attempting to duplicate this noise it is important to have a second person safely
standing outside of the vehicle to determine if the noise being heard is coming from
the front or rear brakes.
ACTION:
Replace the hardware on both front brake calipers with the kit listed in the Parts
Information.

Refer to the Electronic Service Manual (ESM), section BR-Brake System, for
hardware kit replacement information.
NOTE: Machining of the rotors is not necessary for the above front brake noise.
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.
