Well... Just got my car back from the Nissan Dealer. Had my recall work done which consisted of:

front & rear o2 sensors
evap control valve
EGR valve
and a couple of other things.

all at no cost.

I notice a little bit smoother acceleration and a harder pull. The car has 200k and the dealer worked with me no problem. For those of you who haven't checked yet, you should check and see if this recall exists and has been done on you're car, I believe it was on most of the '96 Maxima's, maybe some '95's , its worth a try for some free parts.

 

hell yea ill be at the dealership tommorow

 

how do u do this just go to dealership

 

On a car with 200k miles how is that not considered normal wear and tare?

 

Hey i have a 96 gxe...should i go see about recall

 

Mine is 5 speed... how do you check whether your car is the under recall list?
I hate going back to dealership except free service like this... they always try to rip me off.

 

it started when I was running codes for my check engine light. One of the codes came up as a bad "evap control valve" so I looked it up on the .org and a bunch of stuff came up as it being a possible recalled item. No matter if there is wear and tare or if its brand new, its still a bad unit. Its got to be replaced just because it is faulty/recalled.

by the way my CEL light is still on but its probably due to the fact that its pulling a million ghost codes, not a big deal I guess.

This is the only recall in 4th gen history as far as i know:

NHTSA Recall History
1997-98: One of the diodes in the alternator may be damaged and could fail, leading to an electrical short which could melt the plastic housing.

never heard of this recall on o2 sensors and evap stuff, should call my dealer again, cause i did, when i just bought the car before i was a member here, i called and gave them my vin and they said no recalls apply to my vehicle...

 

As Andrei3333 says, call, talk to service dept, give them VIN, and they'll tell you.

i think post #1 should be a recall.

 

I tried this BS, same thing I pulled a code found it was a recall whent to the dealer, they basically told me "dont let the door hit you where the good Lord split you". I callled Nissan they said my cars VIN is old and had tobe pulled from archive, "call back in 3-4 days well have it", like a f'n idiot I called just to hear, "Im sorry sir we coulndt find te recall found for your VIN are you sure it was recalled", I give her the recall notice number, "she said it didnt exist". F' EM. (My car only had 95k when I tried that bs)

On a side note good for you for finding a dealer to get this done for you.

 

Here's a scenario that I use when helping friends buy cars: call up local dealership, tell them you are about to buy a car and also looking for a dealership to perform maintenance after purchasing the car. Ask them to look up the VIN and note any recalls or major TSB's, tell them the mileage of your car and ask if there's any patterns they've noticed w/your kinda car. Common things they'll tell you are the 99 coils suck, or they see a lot of oil pressure sensor leaks. In the case of my friend's 350z, they told us about the messed up tire treadwear. Good info to kno anyways.

we had this recall done on our 96 under recall at the dealer last month or 2....partially because we (my girl and i) got the ill hookups at nissan...awesome service, all parts at cost, free next day...you now how we do . most dealers will just tell you no because they dont wanna spend time doing warranty work.

 

This is really gay news cuz I replaced all that crap already several thousands miles ago with my blood sweat and tears except for the EGR part. Even though I don't have 96

 

I got a new alternator at like 100k in 2003 shortly after I bought my car. I brought it in for one of those "100 point checkup" deals and they said "oh by the way we put in a new alternator because there was a recall". Sweet.

 

I've heard about this recall a few times but never knew the vin range of it.

 

yeah i just called the dealership about this, since my cel been on for the canister, and both 1995 Maxima SE were no included in the recall, lol they wanted $500 for labor on the evap canister gotta love dealerships

 

so are there any confirmed recalls for the 95 se

 

Yea i fell for that one too...

mine was $775 for an EGR valve.. and needless to say my check engine light is on again...

 

ba-loney, i allready did most of this crap outta my own pocket. and my evap valve whines somedays but stops when i open the gas cap and release the air. i got news for you guys, the dealer said to me " absoulutley no warranty recalls for the 95's except the gauge clusters went bad and if your vehicle has'nt had that replaced then give us your vin and we'll look up your history. sure enough it was replaced under warranty back in 96, but at that time it was under warranty from the dealer and the recall had'nt been established as of yet. and btw, i replaced it again with another cluster 10,000 miles ago ( 3rd one )

 

yeah this is just a TSB as far I can tell.. I looked it up a while back
