Nissan bulletin PD128, PD129
Nissan filed this with NHTSA as a emissions communication dated Jan 31, 2025, received Feb 10, 2025, about the engine — 1 document under this number: NTB24-061. It names 4 model years (2016–2019). A emissions communication is not a safety recall — there is no NHTSA campaign number and no federal requirement — but it is usually work the manufacturer pays for on the vehicles it names; the dealer checks the VIN against the manufacturer’s list.
