Safety Recall - Towbar

[morticus]

Credit due to Kloster Nissan ... went in for towbar inspection and found all gd.

Pleasantly I also walked out with 2 new wheels as the previous owner hadn't had it back for the recall.

Semi-win!

Wouldn't you want 4 new wheels?

Apparently only 2 carried the part numbers for the effected batch of wheels.

Fact or fiction ... how the hell would I tell the difference?

You answered your own question. 2 carried the effected part numbers.

The wheels were of no significance to me. I handed over 4 wheels without scratches, had new tyres fitted to the new ones for free then proceeded to scratch the 4 new ones about a week later.

There's a post/list/document somewhere that lists the 2 different part numbers so that an owner could compare I presume?

Don't care either way ... 2 new wheels that I didn't know I needed and didn't have before.

Has anyone had a recall sticker placed anywhere on the vehicle that indicates that the recall was done?

Mine didn't but I recall my VY Commodore had stickers placed in the A pillar for both recalls it went in for.

Nissan would have the list, but I believe if the recall notice that was linked to in the rim recall thread didn't have it somewhere in that thread the numbers will be listed.

I got a recall sticker on the a pillar for the bonnet latch recall, the wheels didn't effect me and the towbar was installed right first time so that didn't effect me.

My Navara went in last week & was lucky enough to have no problem. After reding this post went & checked towbar myself & bar is mounted to the chassis with ten bolts - 3 underneath & 2 through the sides all fitted by dealer before delivery

I just got mine back after a service and have been advised the chassis is cracked. I have to rebook it so it can go to an engineer to be welded. Not really too impressed. I haven't really pulled any serious weights. It just seems to be the luck of the draw.

Took my 07 D40 in to Nissan dealer in darwin to have the towbar and chassis inspected, Good news is :no cracks all good there, Bad news is : the wankers took my tow bar off and have told me I'll get a new one in 7 to 10 days. Not only can I not leave Darwin at the moment, I can't even go fishing….!!!! tossers, never told me they wouldn't let the truck leave the dealership with the old tow bar on..
