Determining which TSBs/recalls I need to do?

Hey folks...

I've owned my 2k2 SE for some time now and I want to see what TSBs the previous owner had gotten and which ones I can still get (for free) like the one regarding the hood shaking while driving or the clunking noise at startup.

Is there a phone number I can call to see which TSBs and/or recalls have been performed on my car?

Are TSBs free or only recalls?

You can call Nissan, give them your VIN, and they can tell you....Recalls are free, and depending on the dealership, you may get a TSB done for free...if they want to play nice...

RECALL - Anything relevant to safety is covered, as well as any major components that might be prone to premature failure. Items routinely replaced by maintenance-like brake pads, batteries, mufflers, and fluids-are not usually covered by recalls.

TSB - If a manufacturer decides that the issue is a design issue or a common problem not pertaining to safety, a Technical Service Bulletin, or TSB, may be issued. Manufacturers often will cover the cost of problems revealed in TSBs if the problem is particularly endemic, and even if they don't you will have a clear remedy for a common (and potentially frustrating) problem with your vehicle. Ask a technician at the dealership how common your problem is, and if you feel like your repair should be compensated, call the regional service manager (your dealership will be able to supply the number).
