Intake Air Duct Recall (2003-2007)

[Blue350ZCali]

I took the Murano in and got the recall work done but for them to check the SES light they "needed" to charge $140, they found a few codes. One being the crank sensor the other being the transmission.

They are now going to replace the transmission and the crank sensor (~$73). At least they got me a rental, an Altima Hybrid.

Hi! I just found this recall yesterday and contacted Nissan. They said my car WAS covered but the work had already been completed!

We haven't had this service done and ARE having problems with it leaking air and the car stalling!!!

Anyone got any ideas?

We're the original owners. (Oh and the dealer is out of business!)
Thanks!

Try tightening all of the intake system clamps. That's what I did, but I did it before any of the intake system parts started to loosen up and/or come apart. I've never had a problem, and have just ignored this recall.

Don-

Are you sure you did not have the recall done while the MO was in for an oil change or something else?

Any reputable dealer should be able to look at the intake components and tell if they are OEM or the revised ones. When they see the OEM components it should take little convincing to have them perform the recall. It's not like you had the recall performed then went back and replaced the revised components with OEM parts just for giggles.

If, like you say, you never had the recall done then either your old out-of-business dealer submitted false paperwork and received credit for labor not performed, or there was a paperwork snafu where the warranty work is recorded. I'd like to believe it is the latter but would not be surprised by the former.

Let us know what happens.

I had this repair done prior to the recall by a local shop. How can I get reimbursed for this?

You sure you just didn't need to tighten up the existing clamps? That's all I did a few years ago (on my 04 SE) when this problem surfaced, and I have never had a problem with any of the intake components coming loose. I had the other 3 recalls - alternator, rear seat belt sleeves, and fuel tank shield - done, but see absolutely no reason to get the intake `fixed' since tightening up the OEM clamps myself.

Did you check if you have a failed motor mount?
