^If VIN is not in recall # sequence, then it will not qualify for recall. I have a 2011 like louiey370z and it was not part of recall.

Did you try contacting nissan? I might do what Clifford did and email them with my receipt and everything and see if they send me a check or something, or would I not qualify for that?

I have a late 2010 base model and the steering lock failed - dealer said they couldn't get it covered under warranty, and that the ESCL was the "upgraded" part. I called Nissan Customer service and a week later they said they wouldn't help - I hung up on the guy I was so pissed. $1,200+ down the drain! I guess I'll pull the fuse, now. My local dealer thankfully let me keep a loaner for the week, until I ran out of time waiting for NISSAN to decide not to cover it, got it replaced.
