Takata Airbag Recall - CHECK AGAIN
Guys if you have phoned up your local Nissan dealer and been told that your Patrol is *not* subject to the recall then CHECK AGAIN.... Nissan Australia is holding back information and dealers don't have the full story.
Over the last six months I'd phoned my local dealer *twice* to check and both times they checked the Nissan Australia service database and told me that my 2010 Patrol hadn't been recalled despite being on the list on the Govt website.
After reading about how badly people get messed up by this, and that wet & humid conditions (which perfectly describe by Patrol's life...) really aggravate the problem I thought better safe than sorry and check with Nissan Australia. And what do you know, apparently the database that all the dealers can access incorrectly lists my vehicle (and probably many others) as NOT recalled when it really HAS BEEN RECALLED. If this is not dodgy I don't know what is.... they are arranging to get it fixed next month, but I bet there are hundreds of other owners in the same boat. So gents if you don't want to cop shrapnel in the face
1. Send Nissan an email to check if your vehicle really has been recalled: http://www.nissan.com.au/Forms/Contact-Us
and
2. Check here to see if your vehicle is on the list so you know if you are being fed bullsh*t: https://www.productsafety.gov.au/new...lian-consumers

So if I have a 2002 model GU it's in the recall but only if it has a passenger airbag ? It didn't mention the drivers airbag just the passenger one .
Or am I reading it wrong which is more than likely .

If you have been following the 'Choice' scam busters it seems that most of the replacement bags are faulty as well.
Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish.

I double checked the recalls and no mention of drivers side airbags all say passenger for our model and our model only has a drivers side air bag but you have to wonder .

Nah... I'm pretty sure the Steering Wheel would still be on the Drivers side but then I s'pose Victoria has been drifting more left than most states so maybe...
