Nissan Recall 800,000 K12's - May 2013
- Thread starter Arnold
- Start date
Apparently a 15 minute job, I don't see them doing anything else?
That's interesting...
134,000 in the UK...
My steering wheel doesn't feel loose lol
No letter for me yet ^_^...or Mum for that matter
...if we get one, I'll let ya know
I got the ECU recall back in 2010, but mum didn't...wonder if it's her turn?
hi, what was that recall for?
I got a letter saying something about the ECU had a possibility of causing loss of power and stuff (stalling and difficulty restarting)
...never actually had an issue, but popped her to the dealer and about 10 minutes later I was on my way home, didn't cost a thing
(Mine is a Dci 82 engine, my mum's is a 1.4 and she didn't get that one)
ah, You+ Nissan...perhaps I should check mine?
ETA: Just logged into my You+Nissan and I've been recalled too *facepalm*
My steering wheel feels solid and fine, but better safe than sorry...better put my mums reg in and check hers
Same here ^_^ ...haven't really used it yet
I think you'd need a little bit more than a sticker to fool them...at least, I hope you would LOLsay if i stick a k12 sticker on a k11,would it fool them enough ?
Just phoned my local Nissan Dealer/Garage and the nice lady at the other end explained that they will be sending out letters in the next week to owners who's cars may be affected...
then organising slots to perform the "repair"
....she also mentioned to me that the "Part" hadn't come in yet so I couldn't organize a time just now ^_^
....so it seems as though they are replacing the nut, not just doing it up a bit
anyone recieved the letter yet?
I'm still waiting
Likewise, im gonna head into my local nissan dealer, i havent cleaned the car in ages, so gonna demand a wash
Took mine in today. sorted the steering wheel part out and then pointed out another £500 worth of work they recommend I get done, I think not!
On the upside they washed it and hoovered it, shame I took it to the Polish hand car wash half an hour before!

Guess I'll be calling Nissan again tomorrow to double check if I'm recalled or not *facepalm*
still no letter or E-mail to clarify since I looked at my "You+Nissan" page
....wonder if I should take off the sticky back plastic B-pillar trims...seeing as last time I was there I asked how much it would be for the proper ones LOL
ETA: just logged into my You+nissan again and it's still telling me to contact my local dealer
...and not just for mine now, but my mums too ^_^

is your tax £30?
ETA:....my page doesn't tell me my HP
ETA2: ...does tell me my (and mums) paint code ^_^
if your tax is £30 it must be an 82 or a later 86/88 engine all the others are £105 tax ...sorry..."road fund licence"
if you put your reg into mycarcheck (you don't have to pay) it should say at the top a Nissan Micra (spec name) Dci 82 (3/5 door Hatchback)
my sport+ was advertised as an 86...but I still double checked and was pleased that she was, in fact, an 82 ^_^
...........the 82 engine is 119g CO2/KM band C
The later 86 engine is 120g CO2/KM also band C

it should also say this on your v5c

Got my letter this morning...nothing for mums just yet
Called them up this afternoon....but the service desk was too busy so they're gonna call me back...eventually

ETA: Blimey, they must be busy ...they called me back and I had a choice of appointments
...either Thursday or Friday...the 8th and 9th of August!
so...Booked in for the Thursday

That's a bit off isn't it <_<
Oh glad you got the LED's in...debating it myself now... ^_^
I have been by Nissan with my own 160SR and my mothers 1,4. no problems with the steering and they said that there was no reports on the fault in Denmark
This is the recall with the loose steering wheel is it not?
OP

Yes. A link to the story is in the first post
Was meaning with no reported issues :s we've had one at work with a loose wheel
Hello all, are members aware that Nissan are paying 20p per mile for the travelling expenses regarding the steering wheel recall?
Really?...never a mention of that n any corespondence (post or Email) or at the service centre/dealer
....did you have to ask them for that?
(I'd have made a 4p per mile profit LOL)
Hello, I only found out when I was clicked on the chat link in you+nissan webpage, I explained that when my yaris went in for the accelerator problem recall Toyota gave me a £25 voucher to use at Toyota and also £10 of petrol and a carwash, she then said that Nissan were only offering 20p per mile fuel allowance, when I had the steering wheel checked at my local Nissan dealer I mentioned the fuel allowance and they said I would have to contact Nissan, when I got home I went back on the you+nissan site and they said they will send me a cheque in the next 7-10 days.
Why is this post up the top ? I just read it contacted nissan and they said i was part of the recall but it was last year and they won't do anything about it, never got a letter
This thread is stickied at the top of the page as it was deemed an important subject at the time
It was more than a national issue and they really should still check it if it's on their list especially as it is a safety deal
Only took about 30 minutes, less even.
They've sent another batch of letters out
Just been for my recall the other day. The benefit of going was to obviously sort out the problem. But they also do a free health check and clean your car too.
For me the health check was the benficial part because there were a couple of major problems to sort and I got them done this morning.
