REMOVAL
 
   1. Remove the glove box assembly.
   2. Remove the console side finisher (RH).
   3. Disengage the filter cover tab to remove the filter cover.
   4. Remove the in-cabin microfilter from the blower unit by using the pull tab on the bottom of the filter.

Under federal emission law. (Pre)catalytic converter is covered for 8 years/80k miles. If your engine is damaged by this part, you have right to get a new engine. Polite and Firm, your Dealer is your friend to fight Nissan North America. Some of our college in Nissanclub.com have same story and got new engine under this Federal emission law.

A word of advice regarding replacement engines by altimalemon

My Altima suffered the common fate caused by the pre-cat failure. Ended up replacing the engine through my local mechanic. This week my Altima stopped dead in traffic due to one or both crank or cam position sensors. I took it to the dealer thinking that this would be covered under the Nissan recalls.
 
In fact, Nissan covers the cost based on Vin and since my car had been updated on the first engine, the $300 repair was not covered.
 
One more reason that there are no Nissans in my future.

ask them first by email/phone. firm but polite. i got new pre-cat but the engine doesn't consume too much oil. All altima have crank/camshaft position sensor design defect. The new POS has metal shield instead of plastic.
