Nissan's documentation requires calibration any time the windshield is removed on a Safety Shield 360-equipped Altima. That's the official position and we always inform customers of it clearly.
Our recommendation: If you have comprehensive insurance, always calibrate — cost is covered entirely. If paying out of pocket, we recommend calibration on any 2019 SV+ or any 2021+ Altima. If warning lights appear after a non-calibrated job, bring it back and we'll calibrate at cost.
