So I took out the rear seats last night to check for rust in the area of the infamous rust recall. I only found one 1.5" square that is flaking near the top portion of the backseat in the area, the lower parts are fine it looks like. However it looks like Nissan was in there before, they put on some adhesive rubber type of material almost like dynamat, was this the resolution to the TSB back in the day?

 

take it to the dealer and have them run your VIN to see if the recall has been done. it may have been done after the rust began to develop...

 

If you can't get the recall done. I'd scrape and then apply a very thick oil based primer in there. Basicly the nastiest, goopiest stuff you can find to protect the metal paint in there. It can't be seen so.....

 

What year Maximas is the recall tied to? I have a 1992 and have not heard of this before. What problems does it cause?

 

what makes our cars so prone to rust? the way the body is made up?

 

There is a recall to the rust problem? I am suspecting that I may have that problem as well but haven't had time to check. If I do, does that mean I can just take it to a Nissan dealer and have them fix it for free?

also remove the back seat, and check it out

 

after reading the previous thread about the recall i pulled the rear seat and found no sign of rust, however my vin # came up as "not serviced?" could i have lucked out, or am i doomed and just don't know it?

 

yall ppl: why not read THE FORUM???

You can save yourself a trip to the dealer by calling Nissan at 800-Nissan1. They will be able to tell by your VIN if the recall was done already.

 

Hey, I have a 1990 Nissan Maxima and i'm trying to get the original speakers out of that car.. but i dont know how to take off the rear seats can anyone help me please?

 

donate and then search the term "pry bar"

 

A rust recall you say.... How interesting! If I call the # and they say it wasnt done, can I have MY body shop do the fix'n and get them paid for it???
