It includes my Z, and probably a lot of us preorders. Oh, joy!

I called my local service manager and he still doesn't have any information from Nissan. He said that it could be a few months until the recalls actually go out to owners and even then the will go out in groups by VIN rather than all at once. If you think that you are affected by this, I would suggest that you call the Nissan dealership and get on the list rather than waiting.

Engine Sensors Replacement Voluntary Safety Recall Campaign [Oct. 30, 03]

Background
Nissan/Infiniti will be conducting a voluntary safety recall campaign for engine sensors on certain model year vehicles.

Reason for Action
Vehicles are being recalled for replacement of the engine crank position and cam position sensors. Improper operation of the sensors could cause the engine malfunction indicator lamp (MIL) to illuminate; create a no-start condition or reduced engine power; or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation. To this date, no accidents or injuries have occurred.

Nissan Action
To correct this condition, at no charge to the customer, the engine crank position and cam position sensors will be replaced.

Nissan/Infiniti plan to begin notifying owners of potentially affected vehicles in December requesting them to bring their vehicle to a Nissan/Infiniti dealer. In addition to direct customer contact (via mail), Nissan will post recall information on the www.nissanusa.com Web site at the same time owner letters are mailed.

Statement
"Nissan North America is conducting a voluntary safety recall of approximately 790,000 Nissan and Infiniti vehicles to replace the engine crank position and cam position sensors. On certain vehicles manufactured from January 2000 through July 2002, the sensors may not operate properly and could cause the engine malfunction lamp to illuminate; create a no-start condition or reduced engine power; or cause the engine to stop running without warning during vehicle operation. To this date, no accidents or injuries have occurred. To correct this condition, the engine crank position and cam position sensors will be replaced at no charge to the customer. Nissan and Infiniti are committed to a high level of customer safety and service and will be working with its dealers to promptly address this condition. Customers will be notified by mail if their vehicle is affected by this recall."

December? This is November 3rd and I plan to be 4-500 miles from home in a rural area next week. I certainly don't enjoy wondering if my Z, built during the said time period, is on the list. Chance favors the optimistic mind, it is written, so shall it be done.

Absolutely right. I want my Konis NOW!
