Important 2013 Altima Sedan Recalls

[sstroudwku]

Here is a list of TSB's and Recalls you should acknowledge if you own a 2013 Altima SEDAN. These do not apply to the coupe as it's still the old platform.

NTB12081 - TCM Reprogram - This voluntary campaign is in reference to updated software for the transmission that under certain conditions "NDA protected sorry" the belt in the 2.5L CVT ONLY can slip causing permanent transmission damage and even complete failure of the transmission. I worked with Nissan Engineers on this one, I had one of the first 2013's to have a failed CVT. This reprogram is fairly important.

NTB12065 - Combination Meter Reprogram - Nissan has determined the software in that controls the illumination of the combination meter is missing certain parameters and has issued an update for certain models, again 2013 Sedan ONLY.

NTB12089 - Transverse link bolts retorque - This applies to late model year 2012 - early model year 2013, Again Sedan ONLY. The lower control arm bolts that secure it to the engine cradle, and the power steering rack bolts that secure it to the engine cradle need to be inspected and retorqued.

PC163 - this doesnt carry an NTB number because it's an internal notification. If you have an EARLY release 2013 2.5L you need to check to make sure it had the ECM updated prior to sale. If not you need to have it updated. If you're exhibiting an SES light your B1 Air Fuel Ratio Sensor "like an O2 sensor" may need to be replaced.

Hope these help out.
