Recall on slave cylinder

This is great news!!! I certainly hope the members of this board had something to do with Nissan's decision to voluntarily recall. My car is parked for the winter, but I'll be sure to take care of this matter by the spring... Any idea if Nissan will send a letter to owners falling under the campaign?
It's just sad that TheGest didn't have the availability of this recall before he had his accident!!! I hope he's doing better!!!

^i called NNA and they told me that they'll mail me a letter about the recall. it may be beneficial for u to call them and ask them to send u one
when u tip the tech, do u just do it out in the open, or do u have to do it under the table style, like ask to talk to the tech, then "go to look at the car" and then slap a 20 in his hand and ask him to take care of the car as if it were his baby. the reason i'm asking is cause maybe the dealer has some sort of policy or something against it

Under the table is good... just tell the service advisor you got to get something out of the car... it's a good time to get motul oil installed... just give them the bottle and ask them to put in for you instead of nissan fluid... You can purchase it on mynismo.com...

i wanna try the neo synthetics brake fluid rather than the motul as the dry and wet boiling temps are higher on the neo (wet boiling temp is equal on the motul racing fluid as the neo, but the motul dot 5.1 is lower than the neo), the neo is $19 per 12 oz, how many bottles do i need?
here is a link for more info on the neo

I called NNA and mine does fall under that.
I dont drive mine much and havent beat on it yet for the pedal to stick. I will however agree the pedal pressure blows *****.
You guys think its worth it to bring it in and replace even if I am not having the problems?

I talked to my dealer and they said it would fall under the power train affects. So it would last as long as my power train warranty if I decided to do it later down the line.
Also this is not a recall. Recalls would be done for the life of the car. This is something else semi similar.
I dunno, if I knew it would help the way the clutch feels, id do it in a heartbeat. If it only fixes the clutch going to the floor, I'll prob wait to see if it happens.
The tech advisor told me the techs look everything over before even replacing it. So I dont think its just a take it in and replace regardless.

I'll go talk to him and hand him a $50. As many times as he's taken care of me I should, probably tip my SA too, shes been extremely helpful.

my SA's a b*tch, everything is because of driving habbits, including warped brake discs on my mom's quest minivan, and she drives like a grandma
i'm planning on tipping the tech though, cause i want a good job on my slave cylinder thing. to bad its only the slave cylinder, i had my hopes up that a new clutch and flywheel would be included also
