Default Engine Problems

Has anyone gone in to get this recall? What sucks is that I'm having this issue, called NISSAN and my vin is excluded from this recall. WTF!!!

Consequence Summary:
THIS COULD CAUSE THE "SERVICE ENGINE SOON" WARNING LIGHT TO COME ON, CREATE A NO START CONDITION, CAUSE REDUCED ENGINE POWER, OR CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STOP RUNNING WITHOUT WARNING DURING VEHICLE OPERATION, WHICH COULD RESULT IN A CRASH.

People with Zs that fall outside that recall still have had problems with the crank and cam position sensors. Stuff does break or fail, ya know.

Well that's not too bad, how long does it take them to replace it? My dealership charges $110 per hour...ouch!!! I was also thinking about buying my own OBD II reader VS $165 for dealer diagnostic..can you guys recommend one?

I did it myself in about 20 minutes. There is a thread around here that shows which sensor it is, I'll try to dig it up.
