Classification: Reference: GI10-001e Date: NTB10-112e March 17, 2015 BRAKE ROTOR CARE DURING NEW VEHICLE STORAGE APPLIED VEHICLES: New unsold Nissan Dealer in-stock units equipped with wheel protector covers This bulletin has been amended to include the newest models and model years, and amend the tire pressure specification for storage. Please discard previous versions of this bulletin. SERVICE INFORMATION For vehicles delivered to the dealers with wheel protector covers: Do not remove the wheel protector covers during Pre-Delivery Inspection (PDI) unless the vehicle is being delivered to a customer. NOTE: Cut small “X” holes in the wheel protector covers to access the transmitters (valve stems). For storage purposes, adjust tire pressures to 5 psi above the Cold Tire Pressure specification listed on the Tire and Loading Information label. Leave the wheel protector covers on the road wheels for the duration of the storage period, up to six (6) months. NOTE: The wheel protector covers should be removed no later than 6 months after their installation date. Move the vehicle so that the tires rotate 90°, in one direction only, every 30 days of storage. Remove the wheel protector covers and install any wheel trim as applicable at the time of customer delivery. Wheel protector covers help prevent cosmetic rotor corrosion. 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. 1/3 COSMETIC ROTOR CORROSION REMOVAL PROCEDURE NOTE: It is the dealer’s responsibility to perform the cosmetic corrosion removal procedure.
