Recall Reimbursement ? and ideas for what to spend it on!

USMCASA · 04-09-2013, 09:12 AM

So those of you that had the steering lock failure prior to the recall that have been reimbursed how long did it take for you to get your check after they said it was approved?

Mine was approved yesterday and now I have a huge dilemma. What do I spend the near $1300 on?

Mine took about two weeks, I'm just ordered some wheels so I'm saving it for coilovers and camber kits

After they replaced my slu with the newest one (which took two weeks) it was two weeks before I got my check.

no form, just call 1 800 647 7261 and give them your VIN. they will see the recall and all you will have to do then is fax them a copy of the receipt.

They ask me to take the car back to Nissan so they can certify that the work they did was done according to the recall and fax them a copy.

I had to fax them the receipt, method of payment and a bunch of BS...

yup 1300, had it towed and the dealer had to order the part since it was the first time they had heard of this happening. needless to say i was furious when i dropped it off. i think this is why the dealer didn't have to "verify" the work was done. i have never taken my car there for service and didn't buy it there but they made it seem like they were doing me a favor fixing it with me paying for it at the time. **** that dealer.

Good to see Nissan taking care of folks. My slu was replaced twice, warranty.

But yeh I think there's some kwv3 coils almost as low as 1300 right now in the classifieds.

u only get that if you've already paid for the repairs. if not just take your Z to the dealer and they can do the swap to the newer revision free of charge. shouldn't take more than an hour to do.
