2003 Recall for Fuel Hoses ?
I recently purchased a 2003 touring with 7500 miles on it in new condition. I stopped by the dealer the other day to pick up some touch up paint, and had them run the Vin for service records and recalls. At 5000 miles they changed the front tires, updated the alignment and installed an update panhard bar.
They said that there is a voluntary recall on replacing the fuel tank hose’s because a possible leak in some vehicles. I checked the service bulletin on line and it shows that they have to dissemble the entire rear under the car, brakes , suspension etc. Personally I’m don’t feel comfortable with them taking all this stuff apart . Is this necessary or is this just a profit deal for the dealer to get money from Nissan. The recall is not an NHTSA recall. Has anyone on this forum had this done ?
Thanks

I have an 04 and I called the service tech people at a local Nissan dealership with my VIN and he told me my car wasn't on the recall list? Is that really possible? The reason I was notified about the problem was because I got a recall notice from my insurance page online. Hmmm... suggestions?
