That is a huge recall. A huge error that could turn out to be irreversable.

And this is on some of their biggest money making models...
Financial impact aside, the impact on their image could prove more costly than they think. I feel sorry for the respective owners.

"Nissan will recall 23 models, including the Sunny (sold overseas as the Sentra), the Skyline (sold overseas as the Infinity G35) and the Fairlady Z ( sold overseas as the 350Z). "


The Sunny? hahahaha....

the infinity G35 is called the Skyline in japan? Did not know that...

Sorry Doc, I think it's for real.

Just do a google on Nissan Engine Recall

http://www.google.com/search?sourcei...+engine+recall

Financial Times is a pretty good source.

I' ve had my G35 coupe for a few days and everything seems perfect. I' ve heard so far only 215 out of 2.5 million Nissan vehicles world wide has been affected so the odds are miniscule. Following the Infiniti/Nissan forums in the past year, I hardly recall maybe a couple of complaints that might possibly be related to this, so I'm not too concerned at this point. Its a good thing if they take a pro-active move to prevent the problem becoming more widespread.
