jus wondering when the recall on the alternators for the 97 models was?? i believe from 2/97 to 4/97?? and if so, whats the deal with these recall things, never actually diagnosed one...i could just go to any dealer and get it fixed for free??

 

Actually, I think the dates are more spread out than that!
Call any Nissan stealership with your VIN, and they'll let
you know if your car qualifies...

Also, any stealership should do it for free!

good luck,
