My guess it's because of the low number (comparatively) of Zs made in '09 and '10. If it was an Altima, it probably would have been recalled. I guess they also figure that us Z owners have lots of money...
So I haven't gotten it towed yet but do you think because I have an aftermarket exhaust they will try and void the warranty even though the exhaust has nothing to do with the part that failed? Did you have anything aftermarket?
