SERVICE INFORMATION Temporary tire Flat Spotting is common on New Dealer In-Stock vehicles that have not been occasionally moved. Flat Spotting can occur after the vehicle has been parked (not moved) for a few days, or longer. In most cases it is temporary. In extreme cases it can be permanent. Vehicles should be moved every 30 days, in one direction only, enough to rotate the tires 90° (see Figure 1). Moving vehicles as shown will prevent tire Flat Spotting. See this bulletin for further detail.

Is there a fix? Manufacturer service bulletins

SERVICE INFORMATION Nissan North America is continuously working to improve the satisfaction of our customers. It has been brought to our attention that a small number of customers have reported a perceived early tire wear on the shoulders of one or more of the original equipment tires. While such wear might typically indicate an alignment or inflation issue, in the case of the NV200 Compact Cargo this phenomenon may instead be normal wear related to the styling of the tire tread pattern. Please see this bulletin for further information.
