IN THE EVENT OF A COLLISION
Unfortunately, accidents do occur. In this
unlikely event, there is some important in-
formation you should know.
Many insurance companies routinely autho-
rize the use of non-genuine collision parts inorder to cut costs, among other reasons.
Insist on the use of Genuine
NISSAN Collision Parts!
If you want your vehicle to be restored using
parts made to NISSAN's original exacting
specifications þ if you want to help it to last
and hold its resale value, the solution is
simple.
Tell your insurance agent and
your repair shop to only use Genuine
NISSAN Collision Parts.
Nissan does not
warrant non-Nissan parts, nor does
NISSAN's warranty apply to damage
caused by a non-genuine part.
Using Genuine NISSAN Parts can help pro-
tect your personal safety, preserve your
warranty protection and maintain the resale
value of your vehicle. And if your vehicle
was leased, using Genuine NISSAN Parts
may prevent or limit unnecessary excess
wear and tear expenses at the end of your
lease.
NISSAN designs its hoods with crumple
zones to minimize the risk that the hood will
penetrate the windshield of your vehicle in
an accident. Non-genuine (imitation) parts
may not provide such built in safeguards.
Also, non-genuine parts often show prema-ture wear, rust and corrosion.
Why should you take a chance?
In over 40 states, the law says you must be
advised if non-genuine parts are used to
repair your vehicle. And some states have
enacted laws that restrict insurance compa-
nies from authorizing the use of non-
genuine collision parts during the new ve-
hicle warranty. These laws help protect you,
so you can take action to protect yourself.
It's your right!
