Summary

VOLUNTARY SERVICE CAMPAIGN 2009 ? 2010 MAXIMA AND ALTIMA ELECTRONIC STEERING COLUMN LOCK INTRODUCTION Nissan is conducting a Voluntary Service Campaign to replace the Electronic Steering Column Lock (Steering Lock Unit) on certain specific 2009 ? 2010 model year Maxima and Altima vehicles. This issue does not affect steering or engine operation when the vehicle is already running. This service will be performed at no charge to the customer for parts or labor. NOTE: - After completing this campaign, the steering column will not lock when the ignition is OFF, as it did before. - The new steering lock unit does not have a column lock function. IDENTIFICATION NUMBER Nissan has assigned identification number PC516 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any nature dealing with this campaign. DEALER RESPONSIBILITY Dealers are to repair vehicles falling within range of this campaign 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.

Owners of these vehicles have filed 723 complaints in the electrical category.
