Broken wheel stud and lug nut.

kannibul · 07-01-2009, 01:54 PM

Nissan had notified the dealers to use the wrong part for the wheel locks.

They have posted a service bulletin about it - notify the dealer about this, and if they're worth their salt, they should contact other people who have bought one to have them bring it in so they can swap the locks out for the correct ones...

So I'm back from the dealer, let see if I can find the smiley for the looks on their faces when I brought this up....

...or maybe...

....they had no clue!!!!! Interesting, the owner of the dealership was in his office with the sales manager, so we had a talk.....over 20 370Z's sent out with the wrong locks on them and they had 2 on the lot with the wrong ones. I'll have to wait until Friday to get the right ones but I got the standard lugnuts so I can at least drive the car.

Thanks again everyone and get the word out!!!!!

They did send out a bulliten explaining what locking lugs where the correct ones to use and why. Proabably a couple weeks ago it went out.
