MY biggest issue is my car is no longer under warranty (the 3yr/36k mile warranty). I have 39,XXX miles on my 09' Z. If this part was recalled on the GTR is it possible that Nissan will fix it for free?
there have been reports of people's lock failing out of warranty and them having to foot the bill themselves. I guess it depends on how much your dealer wants to keep you a happy customer
