Warranty doesn't cover parts that haven't failed. The only hope of having them replacing it before it fails if they voluntarily recall it under a campaign, which seems unlikely at this point, or if the NHTSA, which is investigating the issue, deems it a safety issue and forces Nissan to recall them. The only good news is that while the "updated" Nissan radiator is pretty expensive at $550, aftermarket radiators are relatively inexpensive, currently selling for as little as $73. Unfortunately, unlike earlier Pathfinder models, the actual job of replacing the radiator is a bit of a pain. Book labor time is about 3 hours, whereas on older Pathfinders and Nissan trucks you could replace a radiator in an hour or less.
