Recalls

I recently bought a 1991 Maxima,and was wondering if there are any factory recalls out there I should know about.

My 300zx had an injector recall, and am curious if the Maxima does too.

Search and you'll find it. I know there's a recall on the gas line somewhere. I think there are a couple others as well.

I probably shouldn't be opening my mouth about this (especially when you'll probably get "roasted" for not searching before asking this one), but there are TSB's on a couple of things with our gen of Maximas (injectors and VTC being the most prominent), but one recall (on the fuel filler tube) that I know of.

recall

Their is a corrosion recall on my 92.All you have to do is call a nissan dealer and ask them for nissans 1800 number.I think it's 1800 nissan 1 but i'm not sure. At any rate just call that number and give them your VIN number and they'll give you any recall information.I just did it last week.

it's a 91. chances are all recall work has been done. Major thing was the corrosion of the rear sealt belt harnes thingy or sumpth like that. Search and type in recalls under 3rd gen...you should find links there. Oh and welcome to .ORG

If you SEARCH in the General Forum, you will find several pages of a former org guy and I b!tching about this same thing. Fuel filler stem recall. It's a corrosion recall so if your Maxima is old and you didn't buy it new (or spend $8K+ on it), chances are they are not going to fix it or try and get out of it any way they can. It is usually $5K+ worth of work, and the dealership only gets 60% of what they normally would for the work (from Nissan). That keeps any dealership shop from wanting to do it. Good luck, buddie .

Speaking of luck... Geoff, did you ever get your car running?

...no, but I plan on having it running by this weekend.
thanks for the concern, I'll post on my 'b!tch about my tranny' thread when I get my baby back and conclude this nightmare.
