I don't believe Nissan isn't going to do one voluntarily, they are too cheap. Even at cost value it is going to cost them $400-$500 a car times 10,000 cars for just the 09's. That's $4M-$5M! Compare that to 1500 2009 GT-R's which had a much higher margin to start with.

They'll only issue a recall when the cost-benefit shows that $4-5m or so in replacement parts is cheaper than damage to the brand name if the media campaign is successful.
