What it saysTire Inspection *****Dealer Announcement***** Nissan is conducting a Quality Action on 6 specific 2023 Versa (N18) vehicles in connection with an on-going investigation. NHTSA’s full summary ↓

Nissan filed this with NHTSA as a service bulletin dated Jun 2, 2023, received Jun 19, 2023, about the wheels. It names 1 model year (2023). A service bulletin is not a safety recall: it is the manufacturer telling its dealers how to diagnose or repair a condition, and whether the work is paid for depends on the warranty in force. Quoting the number at a service desk can save a diagnosis.

Common questions

Source: NHTSA, 49 CFR 579.5

Is Nissan PMA19 2023 Versa a recall?

No. A service bulletin is a manufacturer communication filed with NHTSA under 49 CFR 579.5; a safety recall carries an NHTSA campaign number (two digits, a letter, six digits) and a federal duty to repair for free. Check the vehicle’s recalls by VIN at nhtsa.gov/recalls, or on its page here.

Is the PMA19 2023 Versa repair free?

Not automatically. A service bulletin describes how to diagnose or repair a condition; who pays depends on the warranty in force, any extension, and the dealer. Quoting the number can save a diagnosis either way.

Which vehicles does PMA19 2023 Versa cover?

The manufacturer filed it against 1 model year: 2023 Nissan Versa. Whether one particular vehicle is affected is a matter of its VIN and its build, not its model year alone.
