Received recall ltr months back, got my pass airbag replaced few wks ago with Takata (improved spec they say), probably only threw some desiccant in the mix along with the 5 warranty. Desiccant is probably in effective after 5yrs. Ques dealer re: likely to be another recall as it is Takat & considering the unfortunate fatalities. Reply: Don’t Know.........
Yesterday received new recall notification (dated 4 Sep 17), referred to the Aust driver being killed (Jul 17), will follow up next week with nissan. Mine may be a reminder of the first recall as I am sure their record keeping is up to scratch "not"
Hodge I did not enter on FB but nissan have just supplied a new dash to me (FOC) I paid fitting $540. When I first contacted them (Mar17) they did not want to know me as the service Campain (AWB-008/10) to replace defective dash was for veh up to 6yrs old and I understand includes those VIN JN1TCSY61A036001 - JN1TCSY61AO365922. My veh is 2008 GUIV Wag ST. Tried it on me that I had not mentioned it previously that it was defective. Told them I did not know about it as it was not a nissan recall and that I have serviced my own veh since 10,000 km and that I was fed up with the early teething probs; auto hubs, g/box in & out, leaking water in cab (dash in & out) etc and told them the dealer should have advised me of the moon crater issue when they had they replaced the accel peddle assy under that nissan recall.
Anyway they accepted reasoning and yep got the dash, but it is a pitty they left some screws out and broke me key reader (plastic spool) that they deny (of course...).
I fixed it anyway, some UV curing adhesive I have for fly tying. Not much time for them anymore... good truck now just need some dash screws.

Thanks @Bidja . I'll be doing my best to con them into replacing it.
I'm happy for them to replace it while it's apart for airbags. As I understand they are being greedy and have tried to charge people labour on-top as well .
I don't know how much is involved in doing this job though.
If not I'll attack the job my self.
I'm also worried they will ruin my wiring for various things under the dash like radio, gauges, etc ...

Yep, they were going to do dash and bag together but when they opened up the dash box, they say it was broken in half. Did the dash at later visit (another 100km round trip for me). Had just finished partial NADS prior to bag/dash install then went ahead fitted manual boost and my gauges.
Dealer said air bag job is separate and would not contribute to any saving to me for dash install anyway.. $$$$$$$$$$ to them.

Just got a letter today about my '06 being recalled. Tried to get the dash included but the dealer said they'd be going in through the glovebox so no help with the dash replacement labour. Bummer. But at least my airbag won't try to kill me if I get in an accident.

So here we go again. Just gat my recall advise to be ready to recieve a recall notice to replace the passenger airbag that was replaced last year. Anyone got shares in Takata? They wont be worth much now.

AUST post must have done well today. Got my Nissan best wishes letter too "keep your heads down and watch out for airbag discarding sabot" until further recall active advice 31 Mar 2019 (maybe)..
Looks like the desiccant mod did not cut the mustard. So looking fwd to another two days wasted...

After 3 bookings and cancellations due to NO replacement stock... My Patrol finally got the airbags replaced today.
Surprisingly, it took them next to no time. Assumption was they rip the whole dash apart. But no. They do the passenger air bag after removing the glove box. They have done this for a long time now.

If in doubt the easiest way to check your status is this link below.
https://ismyairbagsafe.com.au
once there you can use your rego number not your VIN. If your rego comes up it will redirect you to Nissan site and embed your VIN for yo into the search then search again.
Takes about 1 minute.
Its a Nissan! =====> Its a Keeper!! ....... Got a TD42 in it BONUS!!

The only good thing about an 80 series is..... the front end?? Wrong!!, the Engine?? Wrong!! the Full Time 4WD system?? Wrong!! Its the NissanPatrol.com.au stubby holder fitted over the transfer lever.
