Nissan has a habit of fixing a problem by using slightly less prone to fail parts. I wouldn't be surprised that they 'toughened' up the 5th gear synchro a few times and it's still shitty. That's what happened with the steering lock. They had four revisions before removing it completely in 2012 and later US models. Rev D is the version to be installed via the recall notice, but it had known failures on this forum long before the recall was even issued.
I have a late model 2011 FWIW. 5th and 6th gear synchros both started showing signs of wear under 20K miles. I've just tried to avoid stressing them for the past 40K miles (I'm over 60K now).
