Somberlaine · 03-16-2013, 02:39 PM

I got a recall notice in the mail today.

What does the dealer do to correct the problem under the recall?

Yessir, that should be it!

Question is... Did you replace it yourself?
I know a few people did, and reading through what they issued, you'd be SOL if you did it that way

Yup

Recall fixes are done free of charge whether the car is under warranty or not. I believe they will replace with rev D. I've already pulled the fuse on mine (rev C). I guess when I get the notice I'll put the fuse back, get it changed, then pull it again to be safe.

Just got my recall appointment setup for later this week...

USMCASA · 03-18-2013, 04:28 PM

so i think i may be getting the run around. called nissan and they said i had to take my car back to the dealer to be inspected and close the recall. nissan dealer said i need to call nissan and have consumer affairs close it since the work is already done and that they can do nothing for me...

I received a letter from Nissan Consumer Affairs Department (03/15/2013), telling me that my ESCL needed to be replaced. I have a 2009 370Z MT with 5230 miles on it. The ESCL in the car was never faulty but the letter said that Nissan dealer will replace the ESCL free of charge for parts and labor.

My question is: After the dealer replace the ESCL, Is it worth to go ahead and disconnect the ESCL? I understand that even if the ESCL is replaced, it could be a failure in the future with the new part in place.

USMCASA · 03-19-2013, 06:13 AM

^i'd assume that if it fails after the recall that they would warranty the repair
