No letter for me, but Mike and the boys did the recall for me while my truck was in there last week.

So I got my letter in the mail today. I think it came last week, but I hadn't checked my mail box in a week, so...

Anyways, now that a few of these have been taken care of, I'm curious still about how some of the more modified rigs are being treated?

Worse come to worse, I will just take my truck in and see what they have to say. I'm still concerned about the fact that I have a body lift on my truck.

Mike, you guys have taken care of a few of these now, right? Thoughts?

I have a question, I am not the original owner of my X and did not purchase it through Nissan how will I know if mine is part of the recall?

Well, this one is a brand new recall, so unless you purchased your truck within the last 3 months or so, it likely hasn't been done.

You can also call your local dealership and have them verify your VIN to see what recall work has been completed.

Yeah - a whole bunch of ways. Best way is to fill out the damn form they give you when you go into the shop. Be forewarned - this means sales guys will call you, stuff will come in the mail - at least for a while. Then they seem to settle down. Guelph Nissan called me every three weeks or so a couple years back simply because I bought some parts... It was quite disheartening having to tell the sales guy over and over that I had no interest in selling the truck...

I've got 6 instock.

No issues with the lift, did mine no problem.

The only spot that may cause issues, is if you've done some kind of custom gap guard.

I would just look at the steering column and look for the shiny part.... That should let you know what they did.

Unless I don't understand your ?
