I've written pretty extensively regarding failures in the CVT (Continuously Variable Transmission) in Nissan vehicles, namely here (Another Nissan CVT Class Action (Versa)), here (2012-2017 Nissan Sentra CVT Class Action Filed), here (Nissan Timing Chain Class Action Settlement), and here (Nissan CVT Warranty Extension).
However, the link to the warranty extension on the Nissan web page has been, conveniently, taken down. This was a free warranty extension given to 2003-2010 Nissan Vehicle’s equipped with a CVT transmission.
However, thanks to the Internet Archive, you can now find a copy in all its glory here: https://web.archive.org/web/20100124032242/www.nissanassist.com/ProgramDetails.php?menu=2 and now copy pasted below:
First, to provide you with additional assurance regarding your overall cost of ownership we have doubled the warranty period for the Continuously Variable Transmission in your Nissan.

Dear Nissan Owner:
On behalf of everyone at Nissan, we would like to thank you for choosing to drive a Nissan. One of the many technologically-advanced features of your vehicle is the Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), an innovative transmission that offers smooth, seamless shifting, while tailoring the vehicle's output to your driving style.
While Nissan is proud to offer this technology on many of our models, a small percentage of owners of early models equipped with CVTs have expressed concerns about the cost of repair of their transmissions after the warranty expires. We take these comments about the cost of vehicle ownership seriously. We strive to provide an exceptional ownership experience and are implementing a thorough Customer Satisfaction Program to address this topic.
First, to provide you with additional assurance regarding your overall cost of ownership we have doubled the warranty period for the Continuously Variable Transmission in your Nissan. The existing powertrain warranty coverage of 5 years/60,000 miles will be extended at no cost to you, for CVT repairs, replacements or related towing, to 10 years/120,000 miles, whichever comes first.
This extension is effective immediately and requires no action on your part. The remainder of your powertrain warranty coverage for components other than the transmission remains unchanged, at 5 years/60,000 miles, and your basic warranty coverage also remains unchanged. All other warranty terms, limitations and conditions otherwise apply. This extended transmission warranty is also fully transferable to future owners of your vehicle.
Second, Nissan will reimburse customers who have previously paid to repair or replace their CVT, if the repairs would have been covered within the new extended warranty period. Even if you no longer own your Nissan we will reimburse you for past CVT repairs that would have been covered under this extension of the warranty.
Further, in the unlikely event that your vehicle's transmission should need repair beyond the extended warranty period we are working to decrease the cost of repair and have already reduced the Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price of a replacement CVT. In addition, we continuously strive to enhance our products, and have made ongoing improvements to our CVTs over the years.
Nissan is taking these actions to demonstrate our confidence in the CVT technology and to show our commitment to stand behind our products.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
If you have previously paid for repairs to your CVT within the time and mileage limits of this new extended warranty, we ask that you download the Reimbursement Claim Form and follow the instructions on the site. If you have additional questions, please contact the Nissan CVT Customer Assistance Center at 888-388-0318. Please be aware that the deadline for submitting the Reimbursement Claim Form is July 31, 2010.
The extended warranty coverage for CVT repair or replacement is effective immediately.
If you seek coverage for a repair under this extended warranty you will need to bring your vehicle to an authorized Nissan dealer. The factory-trained technical staff at the Nissan dealer will have the diagnostic tools and knowledge to provide you with the appropriate service and submit your warranty claim. If you have additional questions regarding this program, contact the Nissan CVT Customer Assistance Center at 888-388-0318 for assistance.
At Nissan we and our dealers work daily to deliver an outstanding ownership experience that will earn your confidence and trust. We are committed to doing the right thing for our customers and look forward to a long relationship that you find satisfying and rewarding. Thank you for choosing Nissan.

Kevin Martin

In this article, we will present an overview of the Nissan CVT transmission warranty service. Nissan is one of the leading automobile manufacturers in the world. The company also provides warranty service for its valued clients.
The CVT transmission system
CVT stands for ‘Continuously Variable Transmission’ system. In this system there are no single gears that make up a gear train. It is made up of cones and pulleys. The pulleys are attached to the cones. When necessary, the diameter of the chain is increased or decreased to put the car in gear.
One cone that is connected to the engine, is the starting point of this transmission system. This transmission is also called stepless, shiftless or single-speed transmission. With the CVT system, you can easily accelerate or decelerate your Nissan car.
The CVT system is now available in most of the cars, because with this system in place, engines generate more power. The system guarantees fuel efficiency, so you can cover more miles while consuming less fuel.
A warranty
A manufacturer’s warranty guarantees that if there is any issue with specific parts of a car – during a specific time period – the manufacturer will repair or replace those parts and the cost/expenses for the manual labor and parts changed will be paid by the manufacturer.
A warranty offers coverage for transmission parts, roadside assistance coverage for a specific time period, or miles covered, absolutely free of cost.

Why consider a special coverage for a Nissan CVT type of transmission
A car with a CVT system is much more expensive as compared to a manual or automatic transmission system. Therefore, if you want to get your CVT car repaired, you will have to pay a hefty amount. If the warranty has expired, you should pay an amount ranging from $3500 to $8000 to get car repair services.
You must know beforehand, how long Nissan is going to provide coverage for a car with a CVT system, so as to ensure that you do have a valid warranty, and you can get the repair service free of cost.
It is important to note that with the passage of time, Nissan cars with CVT systems tend to experience wear and tear.
You may face issues while accelerating your car. The car may have stuttering problems. Often, the transmission system gets hot and it shuts down without any warning. So, what will happen when the warranty runs out? Nissan has a solution.
