I received an email today (copy & pasted below) from Nissan saying they have extended the EVAP vents warranty to 15 years/150k on my 04 SE, has anyone else heard about this? Guess I'll take it in to the dealership to have it checked out...

Dear Nissan Maxima Owner,

Nissan is committed to providing the highest levels of product quality and customer satisfaction. With that in mind, Nissan is contacting you regarding a warranty policy enhancement for the evaporative emission vapor vent (EVAP) tube in your vehicle.

Reason for Warranty Policy Enhancement
In very rare circumstances, a clog could develop in the EVAP tube located between the fuel tank and the evaporative emission canister.

What Nissan is Doing
The emission warranty coverage for this EVAP tube has been enhanced to 15 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first, if the tube is found to be clogged. All other warranty terms, limitations and conditions remain unchanged.

 

No where on your email does it say "Come on down, we will check your EVAP system at no charge to you" does it?

"Guess I'll take it in to the dealership to have it checked out..." You will be charged a diagnostic fee by your dealer.

From Nissan: "No Dealer visit is required — you do not need to visit your Nissan dealer or take any additional action unless you believe the EVAP tube in your vehicle is clogged.

You are right, if they try to pull the diagnostic fee on me i will just get an oil change and have them check at that point to avoid fee. What are the symptoms of a clogged EVAP tube anyway?
