polarbear Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 Anybody been in yet for their clutch slave cylinder and BCM alarm check from the latest recall notification??? Did they find anything wrong and if so what did they say??? Quote
Digsy Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 I'm waiting to see if I get one as this seems to be MY07 specific, however, mine will go to the leasing co first. Quote
GC350z Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 I got nothing and don't expect to. Manufacturers here have a habit of not sending recalls out to anyone that doesn't buy the car new. My MY07 is ex demo. Can you scan what you received and post here or pm? Guy Quote
Zummertor Posted May 1, 2008 Posted May 1, 2008 I seem to remember something a couple of years ago about a site being set up to check recalls issued by manufacturers online, just had a quick search but couldn't find anything, am I just having wishful thoughts or did one exist / get created ? Quote

I think it was either the RAC or the AA that did that Was the AA http://www.theaa.com/allaboutcars/recalls/index.jsp No 350Z listed though Quote
Ardesco Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Not really related if it's a MY07 recall but does anybody know how recalls would affect JDM's? Would we be able to nip into a UK Nissan dealer and get the issue fixed or would we be expected to shell out for it? Quote

Ardesco Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 I was kind of expecting that they wouldn't want to know, but surely if there is a known defect with a specific car there is an onus on the manufacturer to rectify it even if the car was not sourced in the UK. Surely if Nissan refused to rectify a known defect on a JDM and then something happened they could be held liable in some way... Maybe one for the legally inclined to ponder over Quote

Maybe one for the legally inclined to ponder over If there was a recall in Japan and if you got to hear about it here in the UK and if it was safety related you may be able to get Nissan GB to do some work. I wouldn't bank on it though. Quote
Ardesco Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Hmm wonder if there would be a market for a site detailing recall info on import cars.... Quote
Zummertor Posted May 2, 2008 Posted May 2, 2008 Hmm wonder if there would be a market for a site detailing recall info on import cars.... I would think so, advertisers from import car companies / modding companies..., but get the legal bit sorted early, need a few contacts in Japan, isn't there someone there now Quote

Austinp Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 I received the alarm recall and had the work carried out last Friday. it took about 1.5hrs in total. All keys had to be reprogrammed also. Austin Quote
GC350z Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 No recall has been issued for MY07 cars in Ireland. My dealer will be looking into it as there’s no reason why there shouldn’t. UK and Ireland cars come from the same plant. Quote
KS2006 Posted May 7, 2008 Posted May 7, 2008 My car had it's 1st service today (nearly a year old). When I collected I asked about the TSB for clutch and he went away checked and told me yes the car does need it. I need to give them a couple of days notice to get the parts and then they need the car for a whole day. Oh well if I still have it guess I'll get it done soon. Quote
paulmann Posted May 8, 2008 Posted May 8, 2008 I got the same recall. Car went in this morning and they have just called me to let me know I also need a NEW gearbox!! All under warrenty of course. Quote

paulmann Posted September 18, 2008 Posted September 18, 2008 havn't been on for a while. the answer why is as follows. The receptionist @ the dealership coupled with the missus's interpretation came up with this! What really needed doing was to have the gearbox removed to fit the new slave/master cylinder! LOL Quote
