INTRODUCTION
Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign on model year 2010 Nissan Armada, Titan, Pathfinder, Xterra, and Frontier vehicles.
Some of these vehicles may have welds on suspension lower links that are out of specification. To address this, Nissan will inspect, and if necessary,
replace the suspension lower links at no charge for parts or labor.
IDENTIFICATION NUMBER
Nissan has assigned identification number PC047 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any
nature dealing with this campaign.
DEALER RESPONSIBILITY
It is the dealers responsibility to check Service Comm for the campaign status on each vehicle falling within the range of this voluntary safety recall
which for any reason enters the service department. This includes vehicles purchased from private parties or presented by transient (tourist) owners
and vehicles in a dealer's inventory. Federal law requires that new vehicles in dealer inventory which are the subject of a safety recall must be
corrected prior to sale. Failure to do so can result in civil penalties by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. While federal law applies

only to new vehicles, Nissan strongly encourages dealers to correct any used vehicles in their inventory before they are retailed.
