Unfortunately, Rev D is still prone to failure - there were several recorded instances of it happening on this forum even prior to the recall being issued. ...
I no longer have a 370 so I can't run out in the garage to check, but, IIRC, you can see the ESCL label if you stick you head down in the footwell and look up. If you have a rev D unit, as per JARblue, Nissan won't fix it for free ( ) If it's a rev C or older, they are supposed to take care of it.

Whatever the outcome, I highly recommend that you disable the lock motor ASAP. I suggest pulling the fuse (what I did to my '09). If you don't mind cutting "The Brown Wire", that's an easier job. See link in sig for more than you really want to know about 370Z ESCLs. There's even a repair/rebuild DIY, if you are so inclined.
