INTRODUCTION

On some 2006 M35/45 vehicles, the radiator fan motor may begin to operate incorrectly or not operate at all. If this occurs, in certain limited circumstances, the engine control logic may temporarily reduce engine output in order to protect against overheating damage. To prevent this potential condition, Infiniti is conducting this Voluntary Service Campaign to replace the radiator fan control module free of charge for parts and labor.
