Recall Question

Recall Question
So I got my recall notice in the mail today. My problem is my local dealerships don't like me very much. One of them even voided the warranty on my car. they wouldn't even take care of my rearview mirror when it broke. Can they refuse my recall service now. Now, even if they agree to fix it I'm worried there gonna screw something up in the return system. I just don't know what to do. Any ideas/imput?

go to another dealer if i was you, even if it means driving 50 miles out of town.
Back in 2002, i took my Jetta in for service, some grease monkey managed to put two big flat head screws in my rear tires(brand new Dunlop 9000)...even though i couldn't prove it at the time i knew it was them. The tires went flat after i got home.

Some of the forum members refer to this as a "voluntary recall." However, the recall notice from Nissan indicates that this recall is in accordance with NTSB requirements. Therefore from that language, one might assume that this recall was mandated by the Government and not voluntary on the part of Nissan. If on the other hand, a "voluntary recall" means that the customer is free to have the work done (or not), then wouldn't that be true of any recalls. After all, no one ever faces with jail time, if he or she refuses to respond to a recall manufacturer's notice. The only downside to not having the work done (after being formally notified by Nissan) might be a legal one. Should one's car burn up because he or she ignored the recall notice, would that person have any legal recourse against Nissan?
My car is in the group with this problem and I too have reservations about any dealership completing the work without screwing up the car for good. Somehow, those defective rubber hoses don't seem like that large a problem.

same here......the work involved for them to replace those few hoses might just cause more harm to the Z.... IMO. It might never be the same if it was butchered like that. Remember the old saying ...."if it ain't broke ..don't fix it." or .." the operation was a success ...but the patient died."

recall notices must be performed on your car. they cannot refuse the work. I would also call nissan about your mirror.
I had a used 88' z which I bought for $1800 and took in for a fuel injector recall (95,000 miles 9years old). New injectors and new fuel system hoses.
