Hey, is there a new recall on the maximas?

Both me and my dad got a letter yesterday saying there is a recall campaign for both of our cars, however, the letter doesn't say what the recall is.

I know it's not the cam shaft sensor recall cuz of this whole fiasco: http://forums.maxima.org/showthread.php?t=546519

I've checked nthsa's site, and there is no current recalls. Does nissan have their own site for recalls or did anyone else recieve these letters?

 

Yes of course http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/Knowledgebase/links/291

 

I don't see any new recalls. Sure it's not a letter just to get you back in the showroom???

 

does nissan fixes these for free? cause i think i have recall #1 cause for some strange reason i have a knocking sound when i turn and the axles are fine, and the car has gotten a little bit more difficult to steer.

 

Probably a new one. It should be free and I hope it's not too serious, but I'll be taking it in soon. I wondered why Nissan was so damn busy last week, and I got this little post card when I got home.



But I didn't get a letter...??

Edit: I've got an 03...and it checked out fine for the first recall because my VIN was not listed. Maybe they're adding more VINs to the cam sensor recall?

 

aint that a b-word

 

Thats the same post card I got a couple days ago. I called up the dealer and they said to call back in couple of days. Didnt even tell me whats the reason for the recall.

 

would be nice to know the reason for the recall. maybe new engines for everyone!!!

 

I got dibs for new motor

 

NOTE recall pertains to all 2000-2003 Nissan Maxima vehichles without VQ35DE engine replacement with supercharger upgrade.

If you have not contacted your local Nissan dealer regarding this service campaign please do so to reserve your appoitment.

Please direct any questions to 1-800-Nissan1

***************

Hell yessss!!! I'm getting this done tomorrow!

 

^^^same here....

 

WTF this mean? without VQ35DE engine replacement with supercharger upgrade

Subscribing

 

Recalls should never expire or at least here - in Europe

If i were you, i would print that TSB out and show it to the dealer.

 

sounds like there was an optional nissan supercharger upgrade

 

Im pretty sure she was being sarcastic lol

 

man its nice to dream

 

That is just wrong, Jess...

 

You mean not everyone has a factory supercharged Maxima like me?

 

Never got a letter...yet. Hopefully Canadian Maxima's aren't affected by this recall.

lol @ Jess...I wish Nissan would install a SC in my car for free.

 

Sorry I think I was dreaming the other night. Would have been nice right?!

But I will be calling them tomorrow to ask if it's about the cam sensor or if it's something new....or could be they just want you in there to pay for more stuff.

Wish they'd do an ecu upgrade. More HP ftw

 

CAN I HAS WON?

 

Okay just called them today. They looked up and said to call in the next 7 days since my VIN doesn't reflect the recall.

He mentioned that some VIN#s had been recalled in error.

Least I didn't waste any gas going there lol

 

No SC 4 U!...

Nissan up here told me the same thing, no recall. No SC, no new motor...not even a stinkin' 6spd swap. lol

 

hahaha i wish!!!

im kinda scared of the recall

my maxima is my only get around car! not unless i drive my bros LS-V teggy

 

2000-2003 SENTRA, MAXIMA, 2002 ALTIMA, 2003 MURANO, 350Z; VOLUNTARY RECALL CAMPAIGN ENGINE SENSORS
Nissan has determined that some 2000-2003 model year Nissan vehicles may have a defect which relates to motor vehicle safety. The engine might stop running while being driven if the crank position sensor or cam position sensor fails. This may also result in the "Service Engine Soon" light coming on or reduced engine power. If the engine stops running while driving, this could result in a crash without warning.


crap....i have this problem got this info from http://x.nissanhelp.com/forums/Knowledgebase/links/291

 

thats nothing new

 

i jus got my car checked out...i guess its only for the VG30s cuz they said the 02-03 maximas dont have any recall notices but they ran my old pathfinders vin number it had a recall =/ i hope the person who has my pathfinder finds out

 

kinda late on the thread, but yeah, both me and my dad got that postcard, called county line nissan and they said there's no recall, called miller nissan just to double check, same thing...


so why a postcard?

 

I got one too. Odd...

 

Can I just call a Nissan dealership around my place here in Montreal Quebec Canada, give them my vin and see if theres any recall to be done on my car?

 

I would call Nissan Canada directly.

 

so we have all concluded that there is no recall that we didnt already know about....

 

^
Yep!

Most of the postcards were sent in error also.

 

yet people are still talking about it
