AliveBoy Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Jesus, wouldn't like to be this guy: "a worker allegedly forgot to turn on the switch for a system weeding out defective products and parts were improperly stored, which exposed them to humidity."

cs2000 Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Ive been doing some reading on this and it appears the 350z isn't a model affected (at least, its not mentioned specifically as an affected model) so we should be OK, but I don't see any online way to check if you're affected. Surely Nissan could set up a VIN number search where you input it and it says if you need to go to a dealers to get a fix applied?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure where us JDM owners will fit in if there is a recall... NISSAN UK probably dont even have any record of us.

Mikesding Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Also checked and the 350z isn't mentioned (this may be because people forget the 350z is made by Nissan though...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetSet Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Im not sure where us JDM owners will fit in if there is a recall... NISSAN UK probably dont even have any record of us. I would imagine that Nissan, etc would request a list of registered owners from The DVLA, which would include imports. Nissan U.K would only have a database of all the original owners and possibly those who've had their cars serviced at a main Nissan dealership.

Ekona Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Of course they can. Anyone can request your details from the DVLA assuming they have a good reason: How else do the private ticketing companies get your details? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if you pay enough money and have the right reasons to access the data. Not saying thats what they will be doing but I expect they could if they want. I'd expect import owners may been to contact Nissan Internation HQ and ask them for help. I cant see NMGB being interested or having the data available, I believe the VINs for UK/JDM/US are all different. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
