I got the letter as well, and I'm in south Florida where I purchased the truck. If they'd cover it here they should cover it anywhere, and I'd push back on any dealer that said it wasn't.NVSteve wrote:I received a letter from Nissan over the weekend basically saying that I was now covered for this. I'm assuming they changed the recall to include all states, but I'm just guessing at this point. Came with a sticker to put on the warranty booklet.

Got the letter over the weekend. Not a lot of salt in Southeast Texas, but good to have the warranty protection as a backup.LittleStevie wrote:I got the letter as well, and I'm in south Florida where I purchased the truck.

crash zone
samples were taken and sent in. Nissan determined who got replacements. There should be NO shop supplies charged out. Recalls should be 0% customer cost. I've done many, and the only part involved in the sensor. It even comes with nuts. FYI - I don't "offically" get one on my own vehicle.
I'm IN Canada. I'm not sure about all regions, but after evaluation, my region got the recall approved. My personal vehicle is from the US, and at the time I last checked, was still not approved, though my vehicle operates in the same region as the ones that were approved. Go figure.
Extended warranty is it's own thing. Has nothing to do with recalls which are put out by Nissan to correct safety concerns. Be patient, i figure everyone will get one soon. You can always give your dealer the VIN and see if a recall applies to you. If it does fail before then, your airbag light will illuminate, and will likey be covered by warranty. Depending who you got your warranty from though, you may be able to get $ back at the end of the term if you haven't used it.

No, they pretty much suck at life. I can't wait to move to Fargo and actually get to deal with a dealership that is interested in customer care and retention.socal4x wrote:2.5 weeks? They only have one tech?Sven1olaf wrote:get this...
my local dealer (North Dakota) said that they can't even look at it for 2.5 weeks and that even then they will just do an inspection and that, "i haven't had to replace any of them yet... we just check 'em."
meanwhile i drive about 180-300 miles per day or about 1200 miles per week for work on nothing more than snow/salt covered roads/highways.
WTF
I have had enough horrible experiences with these guys that I actually wrote a letter to Nissan corporate about them.
Needless to say, now they want to best friends... lol
Anyway, they did get the part and put it in free of charge. The whole thing took over an hour.
if you look at the front of your rad condensor, through the opening in your front grill, just over your license plate, it's right in front of you, basically the only sensor there. Yellow connector, black metal shield over the grey-metal sensor. 2 10mm head bolts holding it. connector might be a bitch if you live in a salty/dirty environment.
OK, thanks. I had it replaced late last week and just noticed today that I have a puncture in my drivers side fender. Not sure how else it could have gotten there since I park in my own garage at home and a ramp at work by the same person all the time. I just called the dealer and they don't know anything about it. I can bring it there for them to take a look, but not until Thursday when their manager is back at work.
