370z 6spd recall?

GingaBreadMan · 07-27-2009, 04:58 PM

I just heard there's a recall on 6spd 370z's only. Wondering if any1 else heard the same thing. My dealership said they won't have any details until saturday whether it's true or not. Granted this is word-of-mouth, so hopefully is incorrect.

Doubt it, there was only one 6MT I heard of having issues and that was the 370Z edmunds has as their long term tester.

Why would you assume that if there were issues that you'd know of them? Just so we know where you're coming from...

It wouldn't be because I'd know of them, it's just being logical. You think any car manufacturer would issue a recall on a part that hasn't been reported extensively as defective? Or a recall on a part that doesn't pose a significant safety concern?

Both probably posted by a General Motors employee.

I predict 20 more pages of irrational speculation...

If this was official i think Nissan USA would of released a detailed log as to why there is a recall. I haven't heard of anything like this at all. I can be wrong also though don't get me wrong.

Yes, they do. Their engineering departments sometimes discover issues that have the potential for future major liability to the manufacturer even though there have been no reported actual occurances, and the manufacturer may decide to preemptively fix the problem with a recall. This is not uncommon.

I agree, happen with my celica, toyota issued a master break cylinder recall cuz it had the potential to leak.
that being said, i think a good place to look for potential recalls is from the g37 since it has the same engine.

I was told it was a transmission issue. I didn't get any specific details so let's not panic. I know the Camaro SS had a transmission recall so I made sure they weren't talking about that. This is a guy I know from the gym, so I don't know how reliable his source is. Just had 2 check with u guys cus you are all great with stuff like this.

Apparently not very reliable because theres no 370Z recalls yet.

No, you have the Z mistaken for a Camaro.

Nissan doesn't have those kinds of QC issues.
