INTRODUCTION

Garmin is conducing a voluntary safety recall campaign on certain nuvi(R) brand portable automotive GPS units. Some of these units were installed

on Nissan vehicles. To address this issue, the Garmin nuvi(R) GPS devices installed on the affected vehicles need to have the serial numbers

checked, and if needed, the device may need to be sent to Garmin for repairs at no charge.

IDENTIFICATION NUMBER

Nissan has assigned identification number PC063 to this campaign. This number must appear on all communications and documentation of any

nature dealing with this campaign.

DEALER RESPONSIBILITY

It is the dealer's responsibility to check each vehicle affected by this voluntary safety recall which is in a dealer's inventory. Federal law requires that

new product in a dealer inventory which is 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.

Customers who own a vehicle falling within the range of this campaign which are equipped with a Garmin nuvi(R) GPS device can be referred to the

Garm in website to check their device, and if necessary have it repaired. The process requires no tools, and is clearly explained on the website.

Customers can also call Garmin at 1-866-559-0076 for guidance and instruction for having their device checked and, if needed, repaired.
