Summary
Fuel Pump Dealer Inventory This bulletin applies only to vehicles equipped with Front Wheel Drive (FWD). *****Detailed Information***** Nissan is conducting a quality action to inspect and, if necessary, tighten the fuel pump lock ring on one hundred eleven (111) specific 2019 Altima (L34) FWD only vehicles identified in Service Comm. In rare occurrences, the lock ring may be completely disengaged which may require the fuel pump module and seal to be replaced. Due to a supplier issue that has since been corrected, it is possible that the fuel pump module?s lock ring is not fully engaged. If partially locked, it is possible for the fuel pump module?s lock ring to rotate to an unlocked position due to vibration during normal driving conditions. This condition may result in MIL illumination, fuel smell, and/or a rattle noise associated with the fuel pump module plastic flange. Affected vehicles are subject to stop sale and are either currently in dealer inventory or assigned and in transit to the dealer. *****What Dealers Should Do***** PLEASE FOLLOW THE ATTACHED REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS: 1. Verify if vehicles currently in new dealer inventory are affected by this quality action using Service Comm or DBS National Service History ? Open Campaign I.D. PC692 - New vehicles in dealer inventory can also be identified using DBS (Sales-> Vehicle Inventory, and filter by Open Campaign). - Refer to NPSB 15-460 for additional information - Please continue to check newly arriving inventory for campaign applicability.
