I received the following letter today from Nissan Canada.



Dear Nissan Owner:

Nissan is committed to providing the highest levels of product quality and customer satisfaction. We believe that our current and future success depends on your continued satisfaction with Nissan. With that in mind, we want to bring to your attention important information regarding your Nissan Versa.

Reason for Service Campaign

On some 2007 and 2008 Versa vehicles, a mixture of snow/water and salt can enter into the rear Antilock Braking System (ABS) wiring harness, and may over time, cause corrosion of the wires. This may cause the ABS system to stop operating and illuminate the ABS warning lamp. However, the brakes on your vehicle will still operate and meet applicable safety standards.

What Nissan Will Do

To assure your continued satisfaction and confidence in your Nissan vehicle, your Nissan dealer will replace the rear ABS harness with a new harness free of charge for parts and labour.

What you should do

Contact your Nissan dealer at your earliest convenience in order to arrange an appointment. This service, free for parts and labour, could take approximately one hour to complete, but your Nissan dealer may require your vehicle for a longer period of time based upon the workshop schedule. To ensure the least inconveinence for you, it is important that you have an appointment before bringing your vehicle to the Nissan dealer for service. Please bring this notice with you when you keep your service appointment. Instructions have been sent to your Nissan dealer.


I will be calling them to make an apt to get this changed for free :D

Thank you HelloKittyLady!
I haven't registered my V with a Nissan dealer yet, so I will shortly.
I not sure if I even have ABS...
Did you know there is a new Nissan dealership on Centennial?
It's where Parkway Toyota used to be. Called Parkway Nissan I think.
I drive by it to work and back.
That's where I'll go for the recall.
I will check out their service rates while I'm there.

I had no idea they had one there. Plaza Nissan is within walking distance for me, so I'd rather save the fuel. Plus because this is done under warranty, for free, I'll be going there. Also, I know a lot of the people from going there so often, and the salesman knows us from the vehicles we have purchased. They are a nice bunch, but they just charge too much.

I have an appointment next Tuesday. They asked for me to leave it there for a while, and I'll be dropping it off at 7:45am. It's my day off, so I don't mind leaving it there for a few hours. The individual told me the part normally costs $500-$600 to replace. But it's being changed for me for free :D

For your US 2007-2008 model year Versa's with ABS, I wonder if they are affected too?
I guess you will receive a notice in the mail if your affected by it.
