I can't attach the document so here's a copy and paste.

Reference: WB/05-011 Date: March 16, 2005

TO: Dealer Principal, Service Manager, Service Advisors and Claims Administrator

SUBJECT: Warranty extension for “brake judder” condition involving model year 2004 and 2005 Titan and Armada vehicles.

AFFECTED VEHICLES:

All 2004 and 2005 model year Nissan Titan vehicles.

All 2004 and 2005 model year Nissan Armada vehicles.

Nissan has developed new brake parts, including pads, rotors, and floating shims, that will be very effective in the repair of 2004 and 2005 Titan and Armada vehicles that experience “brake judder.” These parts will also be very effective in the repair of vehicles which may have experienced the incident after an initial repair. Nissan is presently working with its suppliers to expedite the availability of these parts for use in the repair of customers’ vehicles, but the initial availability of these parts is extremely limited. Significantly greater availability is expected to occur during May, with increasing availability thereafter.

In order to ensure that all 2004 and 2005 Titan and Armada customers are ultimately able to obtain the new parts if needed for their vehicles, Nissan is extending the warranty on these vehicles for “brake judder” to 36 months/unlimited mileage from the original in service date. All other terms, conditions and limitations of the Nissan New Vehicle Limited Warranty will apply to this extended coverage. Nissan will begin mailing notices to all owners of 2004 and 2005 Titan and Armada vehicles during May of this year as parts availability increases. In the notification letter, Nissan will advise owners that the limited warranty on these vehicles is extended as it pertains to repair of a “brake judder” condition only, and that Nissan will correct the condition if it should occur at no charge to the owner throughout the extended coverage period. Sample copies of the letters will be made available to Nissan dealers prior to the mailing.

As this warranty extension is effective immediately, dealers should continue to repair all customers’ vehicles which experience the incident using the most current applicable Nissan repair procedure. For vehicles built before June 30, 2004, the correct repair is set out in Technical Service Bulletin (TSB) NTB04-066b. For vehicles built after that date consult the appropriate Nissan Service Manual. When the new parts become generally available Nissan will issue a new TSB setting out the proper procedures for making repairs with the new pads, shims, and rotors.

This warranty extension will ensure that customers continue to receive a timely and appropriate repair of their vehicles throughout the transition of production and increase in availability of the new parts. It will also ensure that any customer who may experience a recurrence of the incident after receiving a repair using the presently available parts and procedures will still be well within warranty and able to obtain the new parts as production and availability increases.

WB/05-011

The attached warranty statements include necessary owner information concerning this warranty extension. In accordance with applicable state and Federal law, customers purchasing new vehicles to which this warranty extension applies should be provided with a legible photocopy of the applicable statement along with their Warranty Information Booklets and Owner’s Manuals at the time of purchase.

No special claims coding is required in conjunction with this warranty extension.

Questions concerning this bulletin may be directed to the Nissan Claims Call Center at
1-800-258-7008, option 2.

Isn't the bumper to bumper warranty 36 months already? I don't understand what is gained with this extended warranty....

Glad to see this. I just went in to the local dealer last week. My baby has 4,200 miles on it, and it was shaking like it's on the Andreas fault line. The dealer ship told me that a fix isn't expected until most likely the end of the year.... Then I found out after talking with a neighbor that his dealer toldhim that the fix was available.After calling both dealers, my neighbors dealeship assured me that the fix was available. PISSED ME OFF!!!! I wrote a letter to Nissan corporate telling them of my experience and advised them that this type of service is completely unacceptale.. Will see what they come back with. Needless to say, I will be taking the truck in to my neighbors dealership this week...

I guess it all comes down to money....

Thanks for the info. Although I haven't had much brake trouble, I'm certainly going to have mine looked at. I have 24500 miles on my '04 KC/BT/4X4/OR. I just completed a 4000+ mile trip from CA to MO and back. I noticed just the slightest vibration before I left and after the trip, going through the Sierras and the Rockys I don't notice much difference. It seems that turning the rotors should do the trick, but since I hate pulling the rotors off and not replacing the pads I'll do that too. I picked up some quality aftermarket ceramic pads for half of what the dealer wanted.

My '93 Ranger's rotors always needed turning about halfway through the pad life, approx 25-30k miles, so this isn't that unusual for me.

Over the past year I've towed a flatbed car hauler loaded with a bunch of furniture fifty miles, loaded with an '88 Tbird twenty-five miles from 4000' to 1700' elevation and loaded with an '87 D50 pickup 135 miles from 4000' to 7000' to 4500' over the Sierras. I probably wouldn't have even noticed the vibration had it not been for all the posts on this site.
