so im caving in
and taking the z in thursday for the fuel line recall. i guess ill try to get them to do the tsb's that apply, i.e. fuel fill difficulty, alignment warranty etc
one question though, since its voluntary does that mean i dont have to? if i dont and some way some how my car caught on fire it would still be insured right?

a. Believe that the alignment warranty expired sometime ago. Do you have the latest Nissan feathering policy handy?
b. Recalls are voluntary. You cannot be forced to complete a recall.
c. So what happens is you do not complete the recall and the car catches on fire? I don't know but how many member's cars have exploded into a ball of flames?

I've always understood that the term "voluntary recall" meant the manufacturer was voluntarily initiating the recall as opposed to the government forcing them to.
May as well have all TSB handled at the same time.

the recalls takes about 4 hours to do
50,000 cars all times 4 hours to complete = 200,000 labour hours
200,000 labour hours x $80 they charger per hour = $16,000,000
16 million dollars in labour cost alone + parts + misc. figure 20 million dollars for the recall...
yeh of course its voluntary if they can cut the 20 million expected loss into say 15 million
