TAKATA INFLATOR
FIELD QUALITY PARTS COLLECTION INITIATIVE
2007-2008 VERSA HATCHBACK AND SEDAN
PM651
INITIATIVE ID #:
APPLIED VEHICLES: 2007 – 2008 Versa Sedan (C11)
2007 – 2008 Versa Hatchback (C11)
Check Service COMM to confirm eligibility.
INTRODUCTION
Nissan is conducting this Takata Inflator–Field Quality Parts Collection Initiative in Florida
to replace the driver and passenger air bag inflators on certain pre-selected 2007 – 2008
Versa vehicles. This service will be performed at no charge to customers for parts or labor.
Collected parts will be sent to Takata for analysis. Takata has issued return packaging,
shipping labels, documents, and directions that must be used and followed in order to
properly carry out this initiative. Takata’s documentation is attached and is part of this
bulletin.
NOTE:
 This activity will expire when sufficient quantities have been collected.
 As part of this initiative, a complementary engine oil and filter change may be
performed.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
For this initiative, Nissan has assigned identification number PM651. This number must
appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this initiative.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
Dealers are to repair vehicles falling within the range of this initiative that enter the service
department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties, vehicles presented by
transient (tourists) owners, and vehicles in a dealer’s inventory.
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.
