NEW VEHICLE WARRANTY The manufacturer warranty on Nissan vehicle purchases from UK dealerships is 3 years (from date of first registration) or 60,000 miles, whichever occurs sooner. The registration date is entered on the service booklet provided with the vehicle by the selling dealer. Additionally LCVs (excluding Navara) are covered by a 3 year 100,000 mile Warranty. A range of extended Warranty products are available, please contact your Nissan dealer for more details. The Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd warranty is a Pan European Warranty and does not affect the statutory rights of the owner of the vehicle. It is limited to the replacement or repair of parts, which in the opinion of NMGB Ltd or their representative, have failed due to a manufacturing defect. In such instances NMGB Ltd will cover the cost of repairs/replacement for work undertaken by an approved Nissan franchised dealer. The warranty provided by Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd will not cover the cost of: Routine maintenance Adjustments Replacement parts subject to normal wear and tear Damage caused by natural elements or as a result of an accident A Nissan Franchised dealer must undertake all warranty repairs and any parts removed as part of this process become the property of Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd. Repairs carried out under warranty do not extend the period of validity. For full details please refer to the warranty and maintenance handbooks supplied with the vehicle. GOODWILL For vehicles that fall outside of the standard warranty period and terms, Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd may consider a goodwill payment for the replacement or repair of parts at their discretion. Each case will be reviewed independently and a decision made considering age and mileage of the vehicle, reason for failure, service history and business relationship.
CUSTOMER MOBILITY In the first instance, it is the responsibility of the authorised Nissan dealer to ensure the customer is kept mobile when the vehicle is undergoing a warrantable repair. If, however, a dealer loan vehicle is not available, the following two options apply: 1. Nissan Loan Vehicles Fleet Customer Services will check the availability of a loan vehicle provided by Nissan Motor GB Ltd. This may not be on a like-for-like basis and is subject to the car or LCV being available at the time of the vehicle being required. Before a loan vehicle can be allocated, a driving licence validation process is required. Within 24 hours, the end user must provide a copy of their licence. If NMGB has offered a loan vehicle and the end user fails to provide their licence details, NMGB will not be held accountable or liable for any loss of use charges or costs associated with being unable to fulfil any business requirements. 2. Loss of Use Support If it is not possible to source a loan vehicle from either the dealer or Nissan Motor GB Ltd, Fleet Customer Services will use the matrix below to pay Loss of Use Support. Model Daily Rate Micra and Note 20.00 Leaf, Juke, Qashqai and X-Trail 25.00 Cabstar, Primastar and NV200 30.00 Navara, Pathfinder and NV400 35.00 Terms & Conditions: Loss of Use is capped at a total of 1500 Loss of Use is not paid retrospectively, ie before a case has been raised Additionally where an end user is paying for mobility support to the Leasing Company, loss of use is not payable.

SAFETY RECALLS/SERVICE CAMPAIGNS Safety recalls involve product concerns, which are safety related. In these cases, Nissan will normally source the owner details from the DVLA and contact them directly. Service campaigns involve concerns, which may cause customer dissatisfaction. Depending on the concern, Nissan may or may not contact owners directly, but will ensure details are recorded and available to Nissan franchised dealers. An authorised dealer must complete all recalls and service campaigns. Each authorised dealer has access to a database and is required to check any outstanding recalls/campaigns for vehicles presented to them. PARTS AVAILABILITY Nissan has a comprehensive parts order process that aims to provide the required part as and when required. However, with the large number of parts used within the vehicle range, some components may need to be sourced from our parts function in Europe or either Japan or the item manufacturer (i.e. on back order). In normal circumstances Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd aims to provide parts via the dealer network within the following working day periods: UK Stock Dealer Orders Before 11:30 After 11:30 VOR parts - ordered before 17:00 Next day 2 days Next day European Parts Stock Available Not available VOR Stock held VOR Parts not in stock 7 days 6 weeks 4 days 15 days COMPANY CONTACTS Nissan Motor (GB) Ltd, The Rivers Office Park, Denham Way, Maple Cross, Rickmansworth, Herts WD3 9YS Main Telephone Switch Board 01923 899999 Fleet Customer Support 01923 200205 E-mail Customer Support NMGB-FleetCS@nissan.co.uk Fleet Aftersales Manager paul.mccann@nissan.co.uk Company Website www.nissan.co.uk
